American Apartheid Quotes

“The tumbledown saloon and sagging signs deliver a message that applies far beyond this remote corner of the plains. Native people are not welcome—or maybe they are, to one kind of establishment that offers oblivion and another that extends an alien religion as a way to fend it off. Both institutions are predators of a sort, pushing and pulling at Native communities in a pattern I have seen in various guises during nearly twenty years of involvement with Indian-country stories, first as an editor and then, since 2000, as a reporter.”
― Stephanie Woodard, American Apartheid: The Native American Struggle for Self-Determination and Inclusion
