Dispossessed of their ancestral homelands by successive invasions of Europeans, the first real Americans have long been cloaked in a veil of myth and legend that has hidden from us the true richness and diversity of Indian civilizations and cultures.

This astonishing reality of Indan history, presented here for the first time from the perspective of native Americans, will deepen our understanding what it really means to be an American.
