@natehousley if you need more sources, I've got a few books at home on the Indian wars and the closing of the frontier; happy to recommend some titles when I get home

@natehousley oh okay. Well, if Indigenous history and historians ever strike your fancy then those two women are excellent resources imo! theyre also ofc related to US history so maybe even just an article or two would be worthwhile for a diff perspective

@natehousley Didn't know an argument needed to be made. It is clear that is was. Interesting fact: some Indigenous of Canada (and maybe the US/Mexico?) consider the killing of all the buffalo genocide as well.

@BookVoid yeah I think the book is intended to provoke and convince the nationalist holdouts who still believe in manifest destiny. I don’t think anyone who doesn’t accept it at this point can be reached though

@natehousley ok, here goes. I think some of my books are still packed away somewhere cause i feel like I have more but1) Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee by Dee Brown is, imo, still the classic on the Indian Wars, told from the natives' pov2) Killing Custer by James Welch is also very good; a more focused look at the battle of Little Bighorn3) The Legacy of Conquest by Patricia Nelson Limerick is about how the conquest didn't stop when the frontier closed

@natehousley http://readsettlers.org/ related to settler colonialism but ties it into the still ongoing American Empire.

@natehousley i'm a descendant of some of the california natives who survived and yeah, i don't see how anyone could frame the campaigns against the natives of california as anything but genocide
