There is an old, deeply rooted story about America that goes like this: Columbus “discovers” a strange continent and brings back tales of untold riches. The European empires rush over, eager to stake out as much of this astonishing “New World” as possible. Though Indigenous peoples fight back, they cannot stop the onslaught. White imperialists are destined to rule the continent, and history is an irreversible march toward Indigenous destruction.
In Indigenous Continent, acclaimed historian Pekka Hämäläinen presents a sweeping counternarrative that shatters the most basic assumptions about American history. Shifting our perspective away from Jamestown, Plymouth Rock, the Revolution, and other well-trodden episodes on the conventional timeline, he depicts a sovereign world of Native nations whose members, far from helpless victims of colonial violence, dominated the continent for centuries after the first European arrivals.
Hämäläinen ultimately contends that the very notion of “colonial America” is misleading, and that we should speak instead of an “Indigenous America” that was only slowly and unevenly becoming colonial. Necessary listening for anyone who cares about America’s past, present, and future, Indigenous Continent restores Native peoples to their rightful place at the very fulcrum of American history.

What few people seem to know, is that the Americas have been populated since before 13,000 years ago, where we know that the Clovis people who are the 1st known peoples of the Americas. They were wiped out by an ancient “colonizer”, who were intern wiped out by more “colonizers”. This continued up until the American Indian tribes as we know them today who “colonized” and wiped out the people who were there before them. Every culture had colonized someone at some time. The Europeans just did what everyone has done before them. The lack of education of younger people today is appalling.

@toadmanga what Hogweed said is 100% true, actually. He just didn’t go far enough in his analysis. Not only has colonization towards human progress happened in America, it happened through Europe, and Asia for thousands of years as well. It can be argued that colonization is ingrained in human nature itself. It is what humans have been doing since the slightly more intelligent apes started “colonizing” their less intelligent brethren. If you look back 200, 500, 1,000, 5,000 etc years you will find that almost ALWAYS human progress follows these “colonizations”. It’s why you would much rather be alive today than 100 years ago, 500 years etc. It’s absolutely not all pretty, colonization has felt absolutely terrible to all the conquered people’s since the beginning of time. And hopefully the recognition of those harsh realities by people in the 21st century will help us progress even further as a society. And inevitably, as horrible as people want to believe the world is today it is very likely that quality of life will continue to improve over the next 100-1,000 years.
