Red Earth, White Lies

"This is completely different. Vine Deloria was a very polemical, anti-Anglo-American Native American historian, who sadly died in 2005. I would love to have met him. He wrote a book called Custer Died For Your Sins . My other choices are all contemporary sources from which the history of America has always been written. It is basically European history. What Deloria asks is: why hasn’t anyone used Native American material and myths to write the histories? All the original sources have political and cultural perspectives and agendas, but it is the Indian sources that are dismissed as untrustworthy oral history."
