Description
In this account of the history between Indigenous Peoples and the United States government, readers will learn the role the Bible played in the perpetration of genocide, massive land theft, and the religious suppression and criminalisation of Native ceremonies and spirituality.
Chris Mato Nunpa, a Dakota man, discusses this dishonourable and darker side of American history that is rarely studied, if at all. Out of a number of rationales used to justify the killing of Native Peoples and the theft of their lands, the author discusses a biblical rationale, including the "chosen people" idea, the "promised land" notion, and the genocidal commands of the Old Testament God.
The Great Evil draws from Mato Nunpa's experiences with fundamentalist and evangelical missionaries during his upbringing, his studies in Indigenous Nations history at the University of Minnesota, and his affiliation with the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) as three important factors in his motivation for writing this book.
