Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto by Vine Deloria Jr.

funny informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

An interesting read, and a really good prespective of activism of all types in the 60's, from the 60's. By then end, I liked the content, but a lot of the beginning felt like unnecessary jokes and rants (all explained by the entire chapter of jokes). He also has some pretty interesting but out there ideas, that range between "that's a new take I've  never heard, let me think about it" to "that thought wasn't even finished, you just said it was bad". Worth the short read, but I took some of the chapters with a grain of salt.

A minor nit: I wasn't a fan of the audiobook naration in this edition; occasionally, the audio timbre would change drastically in the middle of a paragraph, making it seem like a new chapter or something had started.
