The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee
Native America from 1890 to the Present
David Treuer
The book challenges the narrative of Native American history that suggests their culture died at the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre, instead presenting a vibrant story of resilience and adaptation from then to the present day. It weaves personal stories with historical events to show how Native Americans have fought to preserve their identities, lands, and rights, shaping a modern, multifaceted existence.
