In an interview with Deloria at the Library of Congress at the 2002 National Book Festival, he opened his talk with a story about giving expert witness testimony. He said the U.S. attorney questioning Deloria said that he knew Indians were called Indians because Columbus was seeking India when he stumbled on North America.
“Yeah,” Deloria shot back, “We’ve always been happy he wasn’t looking for Turkey.”
