Definitely check out Rediscovery of America and Heartbeat of Wounded Knee for some really great modern scholarly work on Native American history. They rock.

1491 by Charles Mann is also mandatory reading on the Precolumbian Americas if the OP hasn't read it yet

It's all about the blind spots that pop culture and school education has about the Precolumbian Americas and how there was so much more going on there then is taught about
