An Indian Manifesto

De: Vine Deloria Jr.

Narrado por: Kaipo Schwab

Standing Rock Sioux activist, professor, and attorney Vine Deloria, Jr., shares his thoughts about US race relations, federal bureaucracies, Christian churches, and social scientists in a collection of 11 eye-opening essays infused with humor. This "manifesto" provides valuable insights on American Indian history, Native American culture, and context for minority protest movements mobilizing across the country throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. Originally published in 1969, this book remains a timeless classic and is one of the most significant nonfiction works written by a Native American.

Could have been written in the last decade

It's striking and sad to realize how little the State has changed regarding meaningful regard for the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island. But they only makes this book more necessary and it's a great reader by a brilliant author wirh with an exceptional narrator.

Vine Deloria will always be an inspiration to native peoples his book is a true inspiration story for all people of turtle island he speaks the truth

An interesting perspective.

A wonderful story from the “Indian” perspective that is as thoughtful as it is satirical!

As relevant today as when it was written.

This book does a great job of providing insight to the struggles of Native Americans today. It was written in the '60s, but might as well have been written today sadly. It is an interesting, insightful, funny, and deeply concerning work that should be read much more widely to any person interested in the experience of being Native in the 1960's or today.

The best place to start to understand the US

If you want to better understand why the American continues to make bad decisions domestically & internationally then listen to this book. It will explain the history of your country to you from a position you can't imagine. Many of the ideas have come to pass and others are still in action, not all of them good, this book says even more now than it did in 1969.
