Custer Died For Your Sins
In his new preface to this quality paperback edition, the author
observes, "The Indian world has changed so substantially since the first
publication of this book that some things contained in it seem new
again." Indeed, it seems that each generation of whites and Indians will
have to read and reread Vine Deloria's Manifesto for some time to come,
before we absorb his special, ironic Indian point of view and what he
tells us, with a great deal of humor. Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto, is a 1969, non-fiction book by the lawyer, professor and writer Vine Deloria, Jr. The book was noteworthy for its relevance to the Alcatraz-Red Power Movement and other activist organizations, such as the American Indian Movement, which was beginning to expand. Deloria's book encouraged better use of federal funds aimed at helping Native Americans. Vine Deloria, Jr. presents Native Americans in a humorous light, devoting an entire chapter to Native American humor. Custer Died for Your Sins
was significant in its presentation of Native Americans as a people who
were able to retain their tribal society and morality, while existing
in the modern world.
