Book Talk: Stealing America: The Hidden Story of Indigenous Slavery in U.S. History
"To create American colonies and, later, the United States, settlers stole thousands of people as well as millions of acres from Native Americans. In this vivid, insightful, and provocative book, Linford Fisher reveals the shocking extent and deep tragedy of the enslavement of Native peoples. But Fisher also recognizes their extraordinary resilience in resisting and enduring to the present."
