Killers of Flower Moon briefly touched upon the historical facts I did not even know – how the Indians were driven away from their lands time to time and how promises made by the President of USA were broken. I was dumbstruck to learn these facts.
I am looking for books on the atrocities faced by them. I am more interested in learning about how the governments have repeatedly failed them. And how those atrocities have affected the communities or families or individuals. What is it that they are going through in modern world. I am ok with historical fiction or non fiction. Maybe not plain history books.
I am not knowing a better way to frame this question as i have not much knowledge on the subject. Please feel free to suggest.
