A Classic Lakota Holy Man Autobiography of Great Plains History, Sacred Visions, and Wounded Knee
First published in 1932, poet John G. Neihardt records the oral life history and spiritual revelations of Oglala Lakota medicine man Black Elk (Heȟáka Sápa).
Black Elk details his monumental childhood Great Vision at age nine, his experiences as a warrior at the Battle of the Little Bighorn alongside Crazy Horse, his travels with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, and the tragic 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre.
Why You’ll Love This Book
Black Elk Speaks stands as a monumental masterpiece of Native American oral history, Lakota spirituality, and Western biography. Essential reading for fans of Vine Deloria Jr., Dee Brown, and N. Scott Momaday.
