After writing briefly on the 150 year commemoration of the Sand Creek Massacre, I thought it would be useful to crowd-source building an up to date reading list of new scholarship on genocide in North America. Please message me or comment below to add suggestions. I will format everything better later as the list builds. Here is a quick start.
