DENVER (AP) - Vine Deloria Jr., a groundbreaking author and an influential advocate of American Indian rights, has died, family members said. He was 72.
Deloria, a Sioux Indian, died Sunday of complications from an aortic aneurysm, said his son, Phil Deloria.
The author was considered one of the most outspoken — and persuasive — proponents of Indian cultural and political identity.
