Genocide Red

To be granted The Creator's blessing of everything this world could offer, and to squander all of it. We always say we'd know what to do with great fortune if it landed at our doorstep. Somehow we'd know how to use it better than the next guy. How ridiculous, when in the end we are turned back to dust, and the opportunities are but a forgotten memory. Futile, the effort wasted chasing desires down. But we spent an entire lifetime dedicated to doing just that. What else is there to live for?

Genocide-Red was written in a time when Native Americans were gaining ground on forging casino business deals on the reservation lands. At the time it was written, the premonitions included in the book had not come to fruition. Ten years later, all were fulfilled, but one that is yet to be enacted - The Indian Giving of reservation lands. Danny has everything, and nothing. A drifter in his own backyard. Learning how to survive his people. It's not up to the white man to create his genocide this time . . . he can kill himself off without any outside help. Success has changed everything and Great Grandmother may have been right, warning not to get involved with pursuing the Green Back. Now, it's up to him whether he remains trapped in his iniquities, or to provoke his people to become true leaders in a land that's been taken.
