About the book

Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee recounts the destruction and displacement experienced by Native American peoples during the expansion of the United States in the nineteenth century. Focusing particularly on events between the 1860s and 1890s, Brown describes broken treaties, forced removals, warfare and massacres from the perspective of Indigenous communities. The book became highly influential in changing popular understanding of western expansion. By shifting attention away from familiar frontier narratives, it presents a powerful account of the human cost of westward expansion.
