Format:Paperback
I think non-Native people tend to forget that Native Americans aren't interested in functioning as symbols. They have lives beyond the tribal dances they put on for tourists. They're forced to watch their religion and culture being appropriated by bored New Age types who want to be cool and hip and profound, and it's hardly surprising if some Indians, like Mr. Deloria, don't view this theft as a compliment. This book, along with the works of Sherman Alexie, represents a part of the Native community that's usually ignored by the mainstream.

I love this book because of it's toughness. It's not a book on theory, or history, or excuses for a situation. Granted, it covers some history, and offers a little theory here and there, but the focus is action - what needs to be done, and how does it need to be done? The book is extremely well written, and the ideas a thoroughly thought out. It's an excellent example of a well laid out argument.
Format:Paperback
Vine Deloria Jr.'s book is a very good change from the usual view of Social Darwinism. Instead of seeing the Native American's as an inferior culture doomed to extinction-Deloria questions the whole rationale of the struggle. A 5-star choice!!

Much needed perspective
The author has a "chip on his shoulder" for good reason. Well written & pulls no punches, for once!

too one-sided
It seems like Deloria has a chip on his shoulder.
