Vine Deloria

In The Indian Affair Deloria traces the history of broken treaties with the Indians, describing how they were swindled out of their rights and pulling no punches in naming indiviuals, agencies, and corporations that have participated. Christian communities aren't exempted from critique either. Deloria highlights the hard feelings that remain due to Christian complicity with Indian mistreatment and urges churches to do the "thousand little things"...

In order to preserve his traditional culture, this Sioux seer related its values and traditions to the wider world. Accounts of his visions and of the tribal dances he carried out according to those visions are particularly vivid and notable. Still very influential today. - "Earth works - recommended fiction and non fiction about nature and the environment for adults and young adults."
