"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
