Imagine climbing the massive earthen pyramids of Cahokia, Illinois-once a city rivaling medieval London in size and sophistication. For generations, we've been taught that Native Americans were primitive nomads who never built permanent settlements. This deliberate erasure served a political purpose: if Indigenous peoples hadn't "properly used" the land, European colonization seemed justified. But what if everything we thought we knew about pre-colonial North America was fundamentally wrong? Native nations maintained sovereignty and shaped North American history for thousands of years before European arrival-and continued doing so long afterward. The sophisticated civilizations they built, the diplomatic mastery they wielded, and their remarkable resilience in the face of colonization reveals a history far more complex than most textbooks acknowledge. Their story isn't a sidebar to American history; it is American history.
