If A Resistance History of the United States grabbed you by refusing to treat justice as inevitable, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States takes that argument to the foundation of the country. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz tells the story from the perspective of Indigenous nations, tracing how settlement, warfare, land seizure, and national mythology worked together—and how Native peoples resisted rather than quietly disappearing from the record.
This is a sharper, more focused next read: the source's broad history of American dissent becomes an Indigenous account of survival, sovereignty, and organized opposition. It is forceful history from below, built to unsettle the stories that make conquest look natural and progress look automatic.
Read it when you want the people written out of American history restored as its resisters.
