Custer Died for Your Sins
Critical Evaluation:
Vine Deloria, Jr., one of the most important Native American intellectuals, first achieved prominence with the publication of Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto, a collection of eleven essays and an “afterword” on a variety of topics related to American Indian social, legal, and political issues of the 1960’s. Coming at the end of a decade in which the fundamental values of American culture were being rigorously questioned, when American history was being rewritten, and when the younger generation was eagerly searching for...

Read this Vine Deloria book first. It prepares one for his works that followed. The man was brilliant. And I am not saying that just because he was Sioux.
Peace!

QUOTE Bear: "The man was brilliant. And I am not saying that just because he was Sioux." Peace! TS77 T.S. With a recommendation like that it becomes a must read for me.
Bear:
I am not going to waste your time. So I will simply tell you how a Sioux feels about things, reading etc. This way you can tell people, you heard from the horses mouth, so to speak.
At any rate, I am glad you are taking an interest, good reading!
