How the US and Mexico Built Their Borders on a Giant Lie
Before American History: Nationalist Mythmaking and Indigenous Dispossession
Christen Mucher’s book *Before American History: Nationalist Mythmaking and Indigenous Dispossession* exposes the shocking truth behind the creation of the US-Mexico border. It wasn’t just a line on a map—it was a crime scene. Both nations used ancient ruins, fake migration myths, and stolen archives to erase Indigenous peoples from history and justify land theft.

Watch to understand how these lies still shape borders and property laws today.
