In this account of history re: the Indigenous Peoples and the United States government, we will see the role of the Bible in not only the perpetration of Genocide of the First Nations Peoples but also in the massive land theft of Indigenous homelands and the religious suppression and criminalization of Native ceremonies and spirituality. Dr. Chris Mato Nunpa, an Indigenous person, a Dakota man, discusses a dishonorable and darker side of U.S. history, one that is rarely studied, if at all. Out of a number of rationales used to justify the killing of Native Peoples and stealing their lands, the author will discuss a Biblical rationale, which includes the “chosen people” idea, the “promised land” notion - “Canaan, Land of Milk and Honey,” and the Genocidal Commands of the Old Testament God. Mato Nunpa’s experience with fundamentalist and evangelical missionaries when he was growing up, his studies in Indigenous Nations history at the University of Minnesota, and his affiliation with the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) were three important factors in his motivation for writing this book.
