“An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States” by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
This book provides a comprehensive look at U.S. history from the perspective of Indigenous peoples. 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. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.
Everything in US history is about the land—who oversaw and cultivated it, fished its waters, maintained its wildlife; who invaded and stole it; how it became a commodity (“real estate”) broken into pieces to be bought and sold on the market.Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States

The film showcases the expansive landscapes of the Central Australian Desert to the lush green rainforests of New Zealand.
