About this product

Product Information

Vine Deloria, Jr., leading Native American scholar and author of the best-selling God is Red , addresses the conflict between mainstream scientific theory about our world and the ancestral worldview of Native Americans. Claiming that science has created a largely fictional scenario for American Indians in prehistoric North America, Deloria offers an alternative view of the continent's history as seen through the eyes and memories of Native Americans. Further, he warns future generations of scientists not to repeat the ethnocentric omissions and fallacies of the past by dismissing Native oral tradition as mere legends.

Red Earth, White Lies by Vine Deloria (1997)
Deloria, sorrow at his going and peace to his ashes, was an author you either loved, which most Indigenous People did, or disliked , as most white intelligensia did. He wrote as he lived, and wrote what he knew from living & searching for TRUTH. Most white reviewers, or critics, take issue with his head-on way of addressing the issues he covers in many of his books. They say he doesn't use "scientific evidence", or that he "doesn't really know his subject". I would ask, isn't MOST "scientific evidence" based on THEORY, educated CONJECTURE, or handed-down & often manipulated "findings" that just are NOT found by ALL? In RED EARTH, WHITE LIES, Deloria outright accuses the scientific community of not only racism, & ethnic bias, but absolute lies. The scientific community says the same of ... Deloria, sorrow at his going and peace to his ashes, was an author you either loved, which most Indigenous People did, or disliked , as most white intelligensia did. He wrote as he lived, and wrote what he knew from living & searching for TRUTH. Most white reviewers, or critics, take issue with his head-on way of addressing the issues he covers in many of his books. They say he doesn't use "scientific evidence", or that he "doesn't really know his subject". I would ask, isn't MOST "scientific evidence" based on THEORY, educated CONJECTURE, or handed-down & often manipulated "findings" that just are NOT found by ALL? In RED EARTH, WHITE LIES, Deloria outright accuses the scientific community of not only racism, & ethnic bias, but absolute lies. The scientific community says the same of Deloria, so who do we believe? Deloria seems to think that the scientists have been proven wrong by other scientists, & that those other scientists are then ridiculed & ostracized by the more learned scientists. WHO voted on which scientist is the most believable, the most learned? Deloria, like many of us, wants to know WHO has actually PROVEN that the Bering Strait Land Bridge THEORY is fact? Is there scientist ONE who was THERE? For a thing that supposedly opened up so many times, every time scientists NEED it as an explanation for something or someone coming to this continent, isn't it a wonder that we haven't seen it "open up" in the last several THOUSAND years? Think about that. Every time new evidence is found by white scientists that prove a new, OLDER date of Indigenous occupation of the Western Hemisphere, the "land bridge theory" gets revamped! NOT very scientific! Demonstrating that a theory is just that until it has been solidly proved, Deloria takes the scientific community to task for insisting on uniformity of opinion within academia while completely neglecting Native oral traditions about such events as the peopling of the Western Hemisphere and the disappearance of the giant animals of the Pleistocene era. While many may challenge Deloria's arguments, the author's insistence that scientists investigate non-Western knowledge in their search for the truth echoes a cry heard throughout Native American communities. Deloria repeatedly asks what makes a WHITE theory better than a RED one, or written history better than oral history? Much of what is called scientific knowledge was handed down from guys who are dead now. So were Indian ORAL traditions! WHO decides which group of dead guys was the one to rely on? Is what was SEEN & told less credible than what was "THEORIZED" & written? And who was actually & physically here back when all that megafauna wsa suppoedly wiped out? WHO actually OBSERVED that? Deloria suggests that most of the missing beasts & plants can be found in the mire of Siberia & Alaska. Has anyone bothered to go look? Questions, questions, & who has the REAL answers? More importantly, who has a right to decide for ALL of us on ANYTHING? To some, all the so-called scientific knowledge accumulated thus far is a total bunch of DRIVEL! To others, it is law & gospel. SO WHAT? Read, think, decide for yourself.
