What are the motifs in God Is Red: A Native View of Religion by Vine Deloria?

History is a recurring idea in the book. The majority of Christian doctrine is based on belief and interpretation rather than on irrefutable historical fact. As a historian, Deloria points out many of the flaws in this practice. It is also clear that the history books are written by the victor in any battle and that there are a great deal of errors in the recording of the history of the Native American, particularly when it involves conflict with non-American people.
