First published in
1972 during a resurgence in Native American activism, this work
critiqued the Western spiritual worldview and its effect on Native
Americans and the society as a whole, promoting an alternative Indian
conception of religion (most succinctly summed up by the bumper
sticker seen on Indian reservations, reading "Hey God is Red She
isn't dead."). The author argues throughout that religious
beliefs can't be separated from history and relates Christian
doctrine to historical events from its origins in the Middle East to
the American war in Vietnam. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc.,
