"Call Him Savage" by John Pollard is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The narrative centers around the protagonist, Sam Quinlan, a reporter and author with Indigenous heritage, who is drawn into a mysterious situation involving a spaceship and Native American themes. The story explores broader topics of cultural identity, conflict, and the juxtaposition of past and present, particularly focusing on the plight of Indigenous peoples in America. In
this engaging tale, Sam Quinlan is unexpectedly summoned to the White House, where he learns about a crisis involving a spaceship that has appeared in Colorado, cutting off the area from the rest of the country. The President and his advisors believe that the ship may relate to an impending invasion led by a time-traveling Native American figure, Lo-as-ro, who aims to restore the land to Indigenous peoples. Sam, with the help of Enoch Wetzel, a frontiersman claiming lineage to the infamous Lewis Wetzel, embarks on a mission to investigate the situation further. As he navigates through a series of challenges, including encounters with robots and a critical dialogue with Lo-as-ro, Sam must balance his own identity with the expectations of both his Indigenous heritage and contemporary American society. The story culminates in a profound reflection on cultural legacy and the implications of historical injustices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
