As everyone else has, I grew up learning about European colonization an the genocide that occurred of the natives by the Europeans but as I’ve started taking a deeper dive into pre-colonial history of tribes and nations like the Aztecs, Lakota, and Comanche, I found that all of these civilizations to some extent also engaged in conquest and warred with neighboring tribes.
What are some good authoritative sources like books, essays, and documentaries that go into depth on this aspect of pre-European American history?
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably, OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted a non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
