Coll Thrush is associate professor of history at the University of British Columbia. He is the author of Indigenous London: Native Travelers at the Heart of Empire.
"[A] vivid retelling of Native history in Seattle, and it is an
incredible history. . . . We have tremendous roots, we just don't
know it. So read this."
*The Stranger*
"Native Seattle offers a dynamic new model for writing urban and
Indian histories together. Thrush successfully challenges
narratives of progress in U.S. history that imply that modernity is
predicated on the decline of Native people. . . . By demonstrating
how white place-stories involving disappearing Indians have shaped
our accounts, he successfully works to restore both the deeper
history of urban places as well as the influence of Native people
in the subsequent development of cities."
*Journal of American History*
"Coll Thrush's book has importance far beyond the history of
Seattle and the Pacific Northwest . . . revolutionary in his
approach to the broad nature of Seattle's indigenous history. . . .
This book will endure."
*Pacific Northwest Quarterly*
"An eye-opener."
*Crosscut*
