Book Recommendation: American Pentimento: The Invention of Indians and the Pursuit of Riches (Patreon)

How did the native Americans get a group identity? What shaped it? This book by Patricia Seed looks into the early years of colonization, and levels as one colonizer changed for another. She shows how these layers of colonization, with each European power having different colonization goals, shaped how we see native Americans in different parts of the new world.
