An Indigenous Peoples' History of 
The United States

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, 2014

Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally-recognized indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land.
