It is about why no understanding of the wider world is possible without   comprehending the original inhabitants of the United States and  Canada:  Native Americans, First Nations and Arctic peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis  highly  personal book, based on years of travel and first-hand research  in North  America, introduces a deeply complex story, of myriad  identities and  determined ethnicities - from the desert Southwest to  the high Arctic,  from first contact between Europeans and Native  Americans to the  challenges of Native leadership today. Instead of  writing a  chronological history, King confronts the reader with the  paradoxes,  diversity and successes of Native North Americans. Their  astonishing  ingenuity and supple intelligence enabled, after centuries  of suffering  both violence and dispossession, a striking level of  recovery, optimism  and autonomy in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeautifully illustrated and filled with arresting and surprising stories, \u003ci\u003eBlood and Land\u003c\/i\u003e looks well beyond the 'feathers-and-failure' narratives beloved by historians to show us Native North America as it was and is.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157366194416,"sku":"9781846148088","price":14.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781846148088_p0.jpg?v=1763745751","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781846148088","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
