The Thread of Memory: A Native American History

By Sharon Milliman

The history of the Americas does not begin with discovery; it begins with European powers entering a world already deeply mapped, governed, cultivated, and understood by the people who called it home. For centuries, standard histories framed the early 1600s as a heroic encounter between European civilization and an untamed wilderness. That version erased the sovereignty, complexity, and humanity of the Indigenous nations who had already built thriving societies across the continent.

From early epidemics and broken treaties to forced removal, allotment, boarding schools, termination, relocation, and modern struggles for water, jurisdiction, and justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), the central theme remains the same: the Thread of Memory was never broken.

This book is an offering of truth, an effort to replace the institutional silence with the unflinching voices of those who lived it. It is dedicated to the generations who fought, and the generations who are here now, proving that sovereignty is not granted; it is inherent, and it endures.
