Kathleen DuVal on Native Nations

Listen Later

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, award-winning historian Kathleen DuVal discusses her new book, Native Nations: A Millennium in North America, which traces a thousand years of Native history—from the rise of ancient cities and the arrival of Europeans to today’s ongoing fights for sovereignty. Thomas Donnelly, chief scholar of the National Constitution Center, moderates. 

This conversation was originally streamed live on November 4, 2025, as part of the NCC’s America’s Town Hall program series.
