An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States for Young People

An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States for Young People adapts Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz’s landmark book for middle and high school audiences, retelling U.S. history from the perspectives of Indigenous nations. Organized into short, discussion-ready chapters, it covers colonization, resistance, treaties, boarding schools, and ongoing fights for land and sovereignty. Sidebars, maps, and questions help readers connect past policies to present struggles. Parents and educators appreciate its clear, uncompromising tone and its usefulness as a core text for decolonizing social studies. It pairs well with primary sources, tribal websites, and local history projects.
