This Land Is Their Land

In This Land Is Their Land, historian David J. Silverman, narrated by William Roberts, presents a fresh perspective on the Plymouth colony's founding, centering the experiences of the Wampanoag people. Marking the 400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving, the audiobook explores the treaty between Chief Ousamequin (Massasoit) and Governor John Carver, reflecting on the complexities of their alliance and the tensions that emerged long before 1620. Silverman reveals the ongoing struggle for self-determination faced by the Wampanoags, prompting listeners to reconsider the narratives surrounding Thanksgiving and the myths of colonialism in America.
