First Americans: A Comprehensive History from Earliest Appearances to the Present


In its third edition, First Americans has been thoroughly revised to chronicle the experiences of Native Americans throughout the 2020 election, the Biden administration, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the crisis of murdered and missing indigenous women. This comprehensive book offers a thorough exploration of Native American history, spanning from their earliest settlements in North America to the present day. It highlights the rich diversity and complexity of their cultures and experiences, challenging the notion that Native Americans were consistently victims without power.


Throughout the text, native voices permeate, shaping the narrative and emphasizing the vitality of Native peoples and cultures in the context of regional, continental, and global developments. The new edition particularly highlights the role of Native Americans as agents of resistance and progress, rooted in the belief that their activism has played a crucial role throughout history and continues to be significant in the present day.


To enhance student understanding, the book incorporates a range of pedagogical tools, including short biographical profiles, key review questions, a wealth of maps and illustrations, chapter chronologies, a glossary, and recommendations for further reading. Spanning centuries of developments, First Americans serves as an approachable and essential introduction to Native American history, suitable for students at various levels.
