On this edition of Your Call, historian Kathleen DuVal discusses her Pulitzer Prize winning book, Native Nations: A Millennium in North America.
DuVal's book begins in the year 1,000, long before Europeans arrived. Native North Americans lived in diverse civilizations with complex economies and networks that spanned the continent. One of the goals of this book is to reinsert Native American history into world history.
