America didn’t begin in 1776. Ned Blackhawk (“The Rediscovery of America”) and Kathleen DuVal (“Native Nations”) address and rectify the erroneous history that casts Native American people as groups without innate sovereignty consistently on the periphery of American history. Moderated by Shelly C. Lowe.
