Colonization and the Wampanoag Story

Told from the perspective of the New England Indigenous nations, this book reframes the familiar American origin story by revealing how communities had lived in harmony with the land for thousands of years before European arrival disrupted everything they knew. Critical-thinking prompts invite readers to question the standard narrative. This is an essential choice for students because it centers Indigenous voices in a story that has long been told without them.
