Description: American Indians have been an integral part of all North American history, yet their voices are typically absent in the telling of their own stories. This work attempts to help rectify this under-representation, drawing upon a variety of primary sources from many different American Indians from a variety of regions to present accurate, unfiltered viewpoints. Sources span creation stories from Native American prehistory, to Indians who met the earliest Europeans in the Americas, all the way to American Indians who served in recent foreign conflicts in the U.S. Armed Forces.
