Chosen as an "Outstanding Book on the Subject of Human Rights in the United States" by the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Human Rights.

In this volume of incisive essays, Ward Churchill looks at representations of American Indians in literature and film, delineating a history of cultural propaganda that has served to support the continued colonization of Native America.

During each phase of the genocide of American Indians, the media has played a critical role in creating easily digestible stereotypes of Indians for popular consumption. Literature about Indians was first written and published in order to provoke and sanctify warfare against them. Later, the focus changed to enlisting public support for "civilizing the savages," stripping them of their culture and assimilating them into the dominant society. Now, in the final stages of cultural genocide, it is the appropriation and stereotyping of Native culture that establishes control over knowledge and truth.

The primary means by which this is accomplished is through the powerful publishing and film industries. Whether they are the tragically doomed "noble savages" walking into the sunset of Dances With Wolves or Carlos Castaneda's Don Juan, the exotic mythical Indians constitute no threat to the established order.

Literature and art crafted by the dominant culture are an insidious political force, disinforming people who might otherwise develop a clearer understanding of indigenous struggles for justice and freedom. This book is offered to counter that deception, and to move people to take action on issues confronting American Indians today.

"One of the most outspoken of current Native American activists, Churchill . . . is an amazingly consistent and perceptive writer."--Publishers Weekly

"Ward Churchill has long since proven himself to be one of the most eloquent and powerful spokes people] for American Indian rights."--Russell Means

Ward Churchill has achieved an unparalleled reputation as a scholar-activist and analyst of indigenous issues. He is a political activist and an author of numerous books, including A Little Matter of Genocide, Struggle for the Land, and Fantasies of the Master Race.

Good
This thing is huge which makes it a little weird to use. It feels nice to put on, but then once it is on it feels kinda waxy I’m not really a fan. It also has a not super pleasant (in my opinion) scent. However, it lasts a long time as long as you’re not eating/drinking and it does meek moisturizing

Beef Tallow Lip Balm-honey
Nice size, comes in a box and sealed with the label for tamper protection. Don't like the strong smell (its a weird 'old perfume' scent which is a turn off going on my lips) and most importantly it doesn't seem to moisturize at all for my winter cracked lips.

Hate to be first to leave a negative review
I'm not thrilled with being the first to leave not only a review, but a negative one at that. I ordered this as it's limited ingredients with no artificial fragrance but received it and can't get the men's perfume scent off my lips or the taste from my mouth. It's supposed to be honey as the scent, made with honey and there is no honey scent to it. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or what as this is my first purchase with this brand. It tastes and smells like an artificial cologne. I've used other tallow products before and never had this kind of scent to it.

Light scent, super hydrating, large tube
I guess I'm in the minority lol, but I really like this lip balm. I think the smell is subtle, like honey vanilla, and I think the taste is pretty neutral. I don't have a strong sense of smell, but I hate perfumey scents, and I don't mind this at all. I found it to be super hydrating on my dry winter lips. It glides on really easily and smoothly and kind of melts onto the lips. The tube is huge too - .5 oz is at least 3 times the size of a normal chap stick. It has a great lid and there's little chance of it opening in a purse or pocket. Price is really reasonable too. I'm a fan.
