Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:First published in 1972, God Is Redremains the seminal work on Native religious views, asking new questions about our species and our ultimate fate. This best-selling classic reminds us to learn "that we are a part of nature, not a transcendent species with no responsibilities to the natural world." Book News Annotation:First published in 1972 during a resurgence in Native American
activism, this work critiqued the Western spiritual worldview and its
effect on Native Americans and the society as a whole, promoting an
alternative Indian conception of religion (most succinctly summed up
by the bumper sticker seen on Indian reservations, reading
"Hey—God is Red—She isn't dead."). The author argues throughout
that religious beliefs can't be separated from history and relates
Christian doctrine to historical events from its origins in the
Middle East to the American war in Vietnam.
