This dialogue is one of a three-part series Vine Deloria, Jr. and I did on the occasion of the last of his books to be published during his lifetime, Evolution, Creationism, and Other Modern Myths -- released at approximately the same time Vine received the prestigious Wallace Stegner award from the Center for the American West in Boulder, Colorado. As stated in the attached Episode Page to this dialogue in the highly informative biographical summary entitled: "In Honor of Vine DeLoria, Jr. (1913-2005)": "Vine Deloria, Jr. was one of the foremost authors, scholars, intellectuals, and civil rights leaders of our time...He was to the Native people a social reformer who was in every way the equal of a Cesar Chavez or Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." Vine was named by TIME magazine as "one of the eleven greatest religious thinkers of the 20th century". In our conversation, many of the aspects of the rich and co-creative interplay possible between the indigenous and modern minds that can - and, in my view, must - take place in our evolutionary development are illuminated with a kind and original brilliance and humor. This was and is a truly rare opportunity to "see into the evolutionary spiral" from a deep inter-cultural and elder perspective, supporting each of us in generating an ever more holistic vision.
