Native America: The Story of the First Peoples (Princeton University, 2025) is an epic deep history of the Indigenous peoples of North America, covering more than 20,000 years of astonishing diversity, adaptation, resilience, and continuity. Join its author Dr. Ken Feder, professor emeritus (anthropology) at Central Connecticut State University, for a book talk about his new publication. Native America, which was recently selected as the 2026 recipient of the Book Award, Popular category by the Society for American Archaeology, introduces readers to close to a hundred different Indigenous cultures throughout North America, each with their own language, economic and social system, and religious beliefs. It is not about peoples of the past, but about vibrant, living ones with an epic history of genius and tenacity—a history that everyone should know.
