Ned Blackhawk

Season 6 Episode 1 | 26m 40s

For generations, American history overlooked the role Native communities have played in shaping the nation. Author and Professor Ned Blackhawk rethinks this narrative, centering the history of Indigenous peoples as essential to understanding an American story that predates the Revolutionary War and continues through today.
