Each November, Americans celebrate a mythical version of US history. Thanksgiving Day’s portrayal of the experience of Native Americans under the boot of settler-colonialism is one of the Empire’s most cherished falsehoods.
To hear about the true story of native peoples’ plight – from genocide to re-education – Abby Martin interviews Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, renowned indigenous scholar and activist, about her most recent book An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States.

We rely on your support to survive McCarthyist censorship. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation.
