Summary
In his new preface to this 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, about U.S. race relations, federal bureaucracies, Christian churches, and social scientists. This book continues to be required reading for all Americans, whatever their special interest.
Reader reviews for Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto
Review summary
Readers found Vine Deloria Jr.’s 1968 essays lucid, sharp, and often funny, offering a clear, hard-edged critique of U.S. institutions’ treatment of Native Americans. The blend of history, memoir, and argument felt illuminating even to informed readers, with particular praise for the analysis of why Native activism diverged from the Black civil rights movement. Some elements read as dated—limited engagement with women’s issues and an outsized focus on the Poor People’s Campaign—but the voice and perspective remain striking and valuable, prompting calls for a contemporary follow-up.
