Enacting red power: The consummatory function in native American protest rhetoric

Abstract

Most observers of the American Indian Movement and allied groups have criticized the movement for alienating white audiences. This essay argues that Red Power rhetoric is not addressed primarily to whites, and suggests that this rhetoric is a case of consummatory self‐address in which a Native American Weltanschauung enables the movement successfully to enact its goals.
