and American indigenous people. Since the book is only 236 pages long, the reading experience is not pleasant but relaxed. After finishing reading, I think I will recommend this book to other people, because it is a really organized book for people who is not familiar with the history of the European and American indigenous people. The primary function of this book is to bring the demonic history to the public and criticism of the guilt that people made back in time. An Indigenous People’s…
