Resumo

Vine Deloria Jr.'s pointed critique of Herbert Schlesier's book, "The Wolves of Heaven: Cheyenne Indians and the Jesuits," centers on Schlesier's misinterpretation of the Wounded Knee massacre. Deloria argues that Schlesier, like many anthropologists, fails to grasp the historical context and cultural nuances of the event, reducing it to a simplistic narrative of Indian-white conflict. He criticizes Schlesier's reliance on Jesuit accounts, which he views as biased and lacking understanding of Lakota spirituality and worldview. Deloria emphasizes the importance of incorporating Indigenous perspectives and oral histories to accurately represent the complexities of Wounded Knee and its significance for Native Americans.
