Review Quote "Vine Deloria, Jr., started the whole modern American Indian renaissance... Now, in Red Earth, White Lies , he is lambasting scholars and scientists for filling our heads with nonsense while they ignore the traditional knowledge of native tribes. Bound to be controversial, bound to start readers rethinking old concepts." --Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee Details ISBN1555913881 Short Title RED EARTH WHITE LIES Pages 288 Publisher Fulcrum Group Language English ISBN-10 1555913881 ISBN-13 9781555913885 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 398.089 Year 1997 Publication Date 1997-08-31 Author Jr Vine Deloria Subtitle Native Americans and the Myth of Scientific Fact DOI 10.1604/9781555913885 Audience General/Trade AU Release Date 1997-10-08 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
