"In this sweeping exploration of Indigenous culture, Our Way-A Parallel History brings together Native scholars and leaders to examine the incredible diversity of Native cultures in the US. Representing more than ten Indigenous nations, the contributors seek to dispel the myth, stereotype, and absence of information about American Indian, Native Alaskan, and Native Hawaiian people in the master narrative of US history and how we understand our country today.
