Facing East from Indian Country: A Native History of Early America is a work of Native American history by historian Daniel K. Richter that investigates the settlement of North America by Europeans from the perspective of American Indians.

The figures Pocahontas, Tekakwitha, and Metacom are brought together in an analysis that shows their similar but varying deliberate involvements with Europeans.

Richter relies on spiritual autobiographies and conversion narratives on American Natives by European colonists to elucidate an Indian point of view.

Facing East received generally positive reviews and was praised for its writing style and argumentation.
