The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples
 
Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.

With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.”
 
Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative.

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.

fast bathroom touch-ups
Great for fast bathroom touch-ups -- that four-times-a-day wiping away drips, toothpaste, and splashes. Sensitive formula won't dry out your skin. These are great to have on hand. I buy tons of these for disaster prep -- when there's no water, it's nice to have a way to keep fresh. Also good for barter, if SHTF.

Great Makeup Wipes
These baby wipes are, hands down, the best baby wipes I have ever used. I use them for taking off my makeup before washing my face (much cheaper than buying makeup wipes). They are durable wipes and they really break down the makeup, yet they are super soft on the skin. They have a light fresh smell too, which is good because I use them on my face.

Perfect for my babies
The Pampers Sensitive Wipes, 448 count, seem to be the best for my children/ babies. After using Costco and other cheaper wipes that caused rashes and other issues, we discovered Pampers Sensitive Wipes. They not only worked great cleaning up the typical baby messes, they did not cause any rashes after use. P & G seem to always be on top of providing quality products to their customers.

Sensitive and Versatile
Wow! This is a big box. I wanted to try some new wipes for the barn and camping. The fact that they were labelled sensitive attracted me to them. It might have been a good idea to try a smaller package first. Fortunately I'm delight with these. The wipes have a soft cloth feel that's not as thin and synthetic feeling as some others. They seem to pick up more of what I'm trying to wipe when some others just smear stuff around. With such a big supply, it's been easy to spread these around to several places to have them on hand. The Prime Pantry price was low enough that I don't feel bad using disposables.

Great for sensitive skin but they could use more texture
I am glad these don't cause a rash on my son's sensitive skin but I don't really like how slippery/slimey these wipes are since it makes it harder to clean my kid's bottom. I have to use more wipes than I'd like because a single wipe doesn't really have the texture to get all the mess off. I do like these wipes to give my kids to wipe their faces and hands since my kids say they are soft, but their softness makes them less effective at wiping off messes on the bottom of my toddler. I think I will stick with less expensive brands of wipes that have a texture that is better at cleaning off my little guy.
