Vine Deloria, Jr.
Custer Died for Your Sins: an Indian Manifesto
London: MacMillan, 1969.
Published at the height of America's great social change movement,
Deloria tells white America that Indians do not especially want to
be mainstreamed into American culture. After centuries of
disenfranchisement, persecution and genocide, Indians are able to
hold on to their sense of tribalism and to focus on coordinating
their political effort to bring about not only social but
necessary legal change.
