If there is one thing that really irks me when I read work on indigenous history in the United States, it is when the author makes it out like Native American people died out long ago, when the reality it there are hundreds of thousands living all over the United States today. David Treuer makes this case in [b:The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America from 1890 to the Present|36620482|The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee Native America from 1890 to the Present|David Treuer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1513714679l/36620482._SY75_.jpg|58380027], which covers the colonial history of a number of indigenous tribes in the United States and stretches into the present-day lived experiences of contemporary indigenous people. This linking of past and present is really unique, and really well explores how past actions have present-day consequences that continue to linger and resonate. This is a great resource, and I recommend it if this is a topic you want to read more about.
