I wish the article was more in line with the title - the title comes up a little bit, but the article is mostly about white-Indian interaction, and not about Indian civilizations. Which makes sense, because the book this is excerpted from is subtitled "Native America from 1890 to present'.
- dlwh 8y agoI highly recommend the book 1491, which goes pretty deeply into what we can infer about the pre-Columbian Americas.
- robohoe 8y agoI’m currently reading it. It’s mind blowing to see that there were peoples in Americas further than 13k years ago. For those looking to read it, make sure to get the 400-some page version of this book. There is a similarly named book aimed at grade school kids. https://www.amazon.com/1491-Revelations-Americas-Before-Columbus/dp/1400032059 https://www.amazon.com/1491-Revelations-Americas-Before-Colu... https://www.amazon.com/Before-Columbus-Americas-Charles-Mann/dp/1416949003/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1548218170&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=1491&dpPl=1&dpID=61f1mlbk1vL&ref=plSrch https://www.amazon.com/Before-Columbus-Americas-Charles-Mann...
