DID YOU KNOW? for September 17 – 30, 2024

The western hemisphere, the lands between the Atlantic and the Pacific, have been occupied and cultivated from coast to coast for millennia. Ned Blackhawk has documented the stories of these indigenous citizens in The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History. Blackhawk has produced a comprehensive history that carefully presents the facts of indigenous people living on the North American continent before contact with European settlers. Numbering well over 100, these groups occupied virtually all the land from Atlantic to Pacific in the years before their removal. If you suspect that your own education about America’s more distant past is a bit light, you are invited to read this well-written treatise published by Yale University Press. as well as visit the link below to learn more.
