Rain of Gold is a true-life saga of love, family and destiny that pulses with bold vitality, sweeping from the war-ravaged Mexican mountains of Pancho Villa's revolution to the days of Prohibition in California.

I don’t even like fiction, but this was incredible, and it’s not really fiction either.

The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere

The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere is a reclaimed history of the deep past of Indigenous people in North and South America during the Paleolithic. Paulette F. C. Steeves mines evidence from archaeology sites and Paleolithic environments, landscapes, and mammalian and human migrations to make the case that people have been in the Western Hemisphere not only just prior to Clovis sites (10,200 years ago) but for more than 60,000 years, and likely more than 100,000 years.

Impeccable, but poorly rated by racists.
Reviewed: 07-07-23
I’ve noticed a lot of negative reviews, from people who clearly did not make it through the first chapter. It’s almost amusing how these comments illustrate the author’s point beautifully.
Each chapter is clearly outlined & provides a framework for the next, starting with the history of archaeology and its ties to The Eugenics Movement. It then goes into how that influenced the treatment and processing of Native American sites & artifacts. This book hardly skims the surface, it’s a summary. It would be impossible to discuss the flaws of “Native American” Archaeology outside of the context of an unflattering & accurate history.
A wealth of substantiated research that will inevitably challenge one’s perspective & the status quo.
Trigger warning for those harboring unprocessed and/or unconscious delusions of White Supremacy.

Story5 out of 5 stars 7
Five hundred years of colonization have taken an incalculable toll on the Indigenous peoples of the Americas: substance-use disorders and shockingly high rates of depression, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions brought on by genocide and colonial control. With passionate logic and chillingly clear prose, author and educator Suzanne Methot uses history, human development, and her own and others’ stories to trace the roots of Indigenous cultural dislocation and community breakdown in an original and provocative examination of the long-term effects of colonization.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 248
Since the time of Columbus, Indian slavery was illegal in much of the American continent. Yet, as Andrés Reséndez illuminates in his myth-shattering The Other Slavery, it was practiced for centuries as an open secret. There was no abolitionist movement to protect the tens of thousands of natives who were kidnapped and enslaved by the conquistadors, then forced to descend into the "mouth of hell" of 18th-century silver mines or, later, made to serve as domestics for Mormon settlers and rich Anglos.

In an Ideal world, this would be required K-12 reading. This book demystifies & puts into perspective so much of American History.

Witchcraft has made a comeback in popular culture, especially among feminists. A growing subculture of BIPOC witches, led by Afro-Caribbean immigrants, Indigenous Americans, and other witches of color, is reclaiming their ancestral traditions and contributing their voices to the feminist witchcraft of today.

An honest, responsible, respectful and decolonized, beautifully organized execution of a complex system that is often difficult to nail down. Tons of resources also.
