The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America from 1890 to the Present by David Treuer

5.0

 This was an eye-opening read, and the subtitle says it covers from 1890 to present. However, the book actually covers way more years than that. This book gives a wonderful overview of North America and what it looked like pre-Columbus and what it's like now to be "Indian" specifically in America. We read about treaties that were made and broken. Discussions that were had and ignored. Betrayals and defeats and under it all, a sense of survival blossoming. A shared history and spirit of hope and strength that is ever present in the descendants of the original inhabitants of North America.
