Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man Of The Oglala Sioux

Description: Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux by John G. Neihardt and Nicholas Black Elk This is "the acclaimed story of Lakota visionary and healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863-1950) and his people during the momentous twilight years of the nineteenth century". "This special edition features all three prefaces to Black Elk Speaks that John G. Neidhardt wrote at different points in his life, a map of Black Elk's world, a reset text, a listing of Lakota words newly translated and reproduced using the latest orthographic standards, and color paintings by Lakota artist Standing Bear that have not been widely available for decades." Some of the content chapters include The Offering of the Pipe, Bison Hunt, High Horse's Courting, Wasichus in the Hills, the Killing of Crazy Horse, the Horse Dance, Heyoka Ceremony, Powers of the Bison and Elk, and the Butchering at Wounded Knee.
