Blackhawk, a historian at Yale and a member of the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone, retells five centuries of American history by weaving together Native and non-Native histories from the Spanish explorers to the Native American movement for self-determination in the late 20th century, and demonstrating Native American centrality to every century of US history. The Wall Street Journal described the book as "an eloquent and comprehensive telling of how the history of the United States and that of the American Indians since the 1500s are the same story."
