During each phase of the genocide of American Indians, literature, film, and the assimilation of culture have played critical roles. Literature from the very first arrival of white people on the continent has been written in the service of dominating American Indians "to provoke and sancify systematic warfare". Later, literature enhanced the public zeal in civilizing the savage. In the final stage, literature and the stereotyping of culture establishes complete control over truth and knowledge.
One critic wrote this book is an "essential contribution to understanding indigenous struggles for justice and freedom." " White domination is so complete that even American Indian children want to be cowboys. It's as if Jewish children wanted to play Nazis."
