Suggest me a book that’s very detailed about the native Americans and the European colonization of the Americas.
I would like to learn as much as possible about the interactions of European explorers and settlers and the native Americans from Columbus to basically all the way to the 21st century.

Read Indigenous authors. Read Billy-Ray Belcourt, Joshua Whitehead (both have nonfiction books out as well as fiction), Terese Mailhot, Dian Million, Eve Tuck, Sarah Hunt, Gina Starblanket (especially her Indigenous Feminisms collections). Most of these people write from the Canadian context but most of it is applicable to the US too.
