From the publisher PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A magisterial overview of a thousand years of Native American history” (The New York Review of Books). WINNER OF THE BANCROFT PRIZE, THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE, AND THE MARK LYNTON HISTORY PRIZE. From the publisher: From the rise of ancient cities more than a thousand years ago to fights for sovereignty that continue today, award-winning historian Kathleen DuVal presents a sweeping history of Indigenous North America. Long before European colonization, Indigenous Americans built diverse civilizations and adapted to a changing world. A millennium ago, North American cities rivaled urban centers around the world in size. Over time, Indigenous nations developed egalitarian governments, diplomacy, complex economies, and powerful systems of trade. When Europeans arrived, they encountered societies they did not understand and whose power they often underestimated. For centuries afterward, Indigenous people maintained influence and used Europeans in pursuit of their own interests. Mohawks controlled trade with the Dutch and influenced global markets, while Quapaws manipulated French colonists. Even after the American Revolution, Indigenous people continued to command much of the continent's land and resources. From Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa's efforts to unite Native nations to the Cherokees' institutions for sovereignty and the Kiowas' regulation of white settlers, Native Nations shows how Indigenous power and influence endured and evolved across a millennium of history.
