Broken Promises: The 374 Treaties of the United States

Description

For too long, the truth about America’s treaties has been hidden in dusty archives and legal texts. Broken Promises: The 374 Treaties of the United States brings them back into the light — revealing the promises made, the lands taken, and the lives forever changed.

From the earliest colonial agreements to the final treaty signed in 1871, this book compiles and explains all 374 treaties between the United States and Native Nations, placing them side by side with the unbroken resilience of Black and Indigenous people.

This is more than history — it is a testimony. Erika Trenell calls readers to look inward, lift the veil, and reclaim the wisdom that has always lived within. Through prayers, historical analysis, maps, and a full master index, this book equips Black America and all truth-seekers to understand how dispossession was written into law — and how remembering can begin the work of restoration.

🔑 Inside You’ll Find:

• A Master Index of 374 treaties (1722–1871) with dates, locations, and tribal signatories.

• Chapter-by-chapter analysis of treaty eras: Colonial, Early Republic, Removal, Civil War, and Reconstruction.

• Appendices with maps, tribal index, and cross-references for easy study.

• Prayers and reflections to awaken spiritual strength and covenant balance.

• A call to action: to stop seeking answers outside, and to find power within.

This book is a mirror, a record, and a guide. It is for students, activists, truth-seekers, and descendants of those whose names were written into treaties — and then written out of promises.

📚 Read this book to remember, to heal, and to rise.
