520 |a Ten years before he wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum produced two editorials calling for the death of all Native American people. These editorials have affected how both Baum's novel and its 1939 MGM adaptation are interpreted.

This essay explores this hermeneutical issue, arguing that The Wizard of Oz—like "religion" itself—can support opposing interpretations because the world it depicts is complex and contradictory.
