***who sucked me in***

A fascinating, well-written history of resistance particularly of Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota people and those who share land claims with them, though the book also stretches outside of those nations as those peoples interact with other nations. Estes does a great job of challenging the historiography where it fails, and keeping the history coming from within community where possible (and it's way more possible than most histories have acknowledged.)

I'm like very behind the times, but the chapter on indigenous internationalisms had me like shaking the book and demanding more. I'm really looking forward to digging into those citations, but I think it's a totally accessible intro to that and I really think could be super effective in a classroom. I certainly wish I had access to it sooner! That tipped it over for me, though I recommend the whole book regardless, for its specificity and accessibility. ( )

Istorio horren arabera, natiboek eta kolonoek, indioilarra eta batata erreak janez, ‘bakea’ erdietsi zuten Massachusetts estatuko Plymouth hirian, non, 1620an, kolonia bat ezarri baitzuten Mayflower itsasontzian iritsi ziren erromesek. 1637an, ostera, pekuota herriko 700 bat lagunen sarraski zentzugabea burutzeko, zera esan zuen Massachusetts Badiako Koloniako gobernari William Bradford-ek: Eskerrak Emateko Eguna ospatu beharra zela ‘garaipen odoltsuaren omenez, eta Jainkoari eskerrak emanez borrokan gailentzeagatik’. Bakea, lapurtutako lurretan, genozidioz blai dago».
