It is remarkable how much of this book holds true today. I especially enjoyed the chapter on anthropologists and missionaries, and Deloria's still accurate criticism of ostensibly liberal allies to native communities. His wit throughout the book was fantastic.

However, his endorsement of Zionism and criticism of the Civil Rights movement were tough to swallow. I can't imagine such a book taking these stances in this day and age. Despite these issues, the analysis specific to indigenous struggle and sovereignty should be required reading.
