Reviews
"This is Vine Deloria's best book yet... Red Earth, White Lies shoots down a whole herd of sacred cows--from Charles Darwin's cow to Samuel Eliot Morison's bull." --Leslie Marmon Silko, author of Ceremony
"Vine Deloria, Jr., started the whole modern American Indian renaissance... Now, in Red Earth, White Lies, he is lambasting scholars and scientists for filling our heads with nonsense while they ignore the traditional knowledge of native tribes. Bound to be controversial, bound to start readers rethinking old concepts." --Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
"This is Vine Deloria at his very best--challenging, taunting, acerbic and powerful." --Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., author of Now That the Buffalo's Gone
