Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West

The book offers a compelling perspective on indigenous history, but I wonder how he chose which events and figures to focus on. Did he aim for a particular narrative or balance diverse voices?

The stories of broken treaties and forced removals are heartbreaking. I’d love to hear if others felt the same mix of outrage and sorrow during certain chapters.

The narrative presents a viewpoint that’s often marginalized. I wonder what led Dee Brown to center Indigenous voices in this way and how he gathered his sources.
