Quoting David Lester:

I responded to the inquiry with a discussion of
Indian Sovereignty and the rather holistic and
spiritual nature of the Indian world view
as contrasted with distinctively polarized
cosmology of Western Civilization
(God is with me and against you),
the exclusivity of truth (there being only one) and that
Indians are Cannanites
to the White Pioneer as Israelite
(meaning God ordained the conquest).
