“The story of Native American dispossession is too easily swept aside, but new visualisations should make it unforgettable.
Between 1776 and the present, the United States seized some 1.5 billion acres from North America’s native peoples, an area 25 times the size of the United Kingdom. Many Americans are only vaguely familiar with the story of how this happened. They perhaps recognise Wounded Knee and the Trail of Tears, but few can recall the details and even fewer think that those events are central to US history.”
— “The invasion of America,” Claudio Saunt, Aeon
