Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The myths about Native Americans come from the ways experts in the social sciences talk about history, the society we live in, and how modern countries are formed. The narratives are used to construct a sense of national identity.
#2 The myth of the vanishing Indian, which was used to justify the removal of Indians from their lands, was also used by politicians to gain support for their policies.
#3 The myth of the vanishing Native has been prevalent in history books, but there has been a shift in the way history is being told thanks to the increasing scholarship of Native peoples and their allies.
#4 The theory of settler colonialism states that the singular goal of the settler state is to eliminate the Native in order to gain access to land. This is done through a variety of practices that chip away at the very concept of Native in order to eliminate it as a category of racial and political identity.
