Vine Deloria Jr. was named by TIME magazine as one of the greatest religious thinkers of the twentieth century. He was a leading Native American scholar whose research, writings, and teachings on history, law, religion, and political science have not only changed the face of Indian country, but stand to influence future generations of Native and non-Native Americans alike. He has authored many acclaimed books, including Evolution, Creationism, and Other Modern Myths; Red Earth, White Lies; God is Red; Spirit and Reason; and Custer Died for Your Sins. Vine Deloria Jr. passed away on November 13, 2005.
Reviews
"God is Red should be read and re-read by Americans who want to understand why the United States keeps losing the peace, war after war." --From the forward by Leslie Marmon Silko, author of Ceremony

"The flagship book on Native American spirituality remains Vine Deloria's God is Red. He does an outstanding job of translating complex spiritual issues into very simple truths." --Wilma P Mankiller, Former Principal Chief, Cherokee Nation


"...Deloria's handling of the contrast between Christianity and the naturalistic religion of the American Indians is rich in perceptiveness." --Choice
"Brilliant and discerning, God Is Red is as thought-provoking and pertinent today as it was when it was first released fifty years ago." --Foreword Reviews.
"Deloria's thinking on the subject of religion has lost none of its rage or relevance . . . since God Is Red was first published. This book is broader than its subtitle suggests. It is a trenchant and often witty critique on non-Native religion through Native eyes."
--Akwe: kon Journal

"The [spiritual place] argument also suggests that Native spiritualities, as practiced in their home landscapes, have continuing power, even after centuries of hard history in which settlers tried to suppress those practices. That provocative viewpoint sits at the core of the book: it is a critique of Christianity and an assertion of the importance of Indigenous spirituality."--Foreword Reviews
