Author Event: “Facing East from Indian Country”
August 13 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
“Montana Reads: The Treasure State’s Book Club” hosts special guests and authors to bring U.S., Montana, and Tribal history to life. This month’s selection is Facing East from Indian Country: A Native History of Early America, by Dr. Daniel K. Richter.
In the beginning, North America was Indian country. But only in the beginning. After the opening act of the great national drama, Native Americans yielded to the westward rush of European settlers. Or so the story usually goes. Yet, for three centuries after Columbus, Native people controlled most of eastern North America and profoundly shaped its destiny. In Facing East from Indian Country, Daniel K. Richter keeps Native people center-stage throughout the story of the origins of the United States.
North Valley Public Library is hosting a watch-party; the author will present virtually from a different location.
