Overview

Traditional American histories have reflected the European mindset. More recently, Native authors have begun the process of correcting those views of specific events. This book takes a different approach. It identifies the aggressive Nation-State Axial paradigm that drove colonialism and the relationship-based Native American value system that responded to it for a more accurate view of specific historic events.

The main arguments include that:

  • The Nation-State drive for conquest skewed our understanding of the sophistication of Native American cultures
  • Indigenous cultures' inclusive value systems blinded them to an enemy who came to destroy them and take their homeland
  • Historic half-truths have blocked understanding of our history
  • We are still caught in the five-thousand-year Axial patterns and philosophies that drove colonization
  • Native wisdom could help us with today's serious challenges
