God is red : a native view of religion

Summary: The first edition of God Is Red, published in 1972, was the vanguard in promoting the recognition of sacred places. Now, two decades later, as environmental awareness continues to grow, Vine Deloria, Jr., reminds us to learn "that we are a part of nature, not a transcendent species with no responsibility to the natural world." Deloria, a prominent Native American author, scholar, lawyer, and philosopher, has updated God Is Red, his classic work on Native religion, asking new questions about our species and our ultimate fate as we move into a new century.
