Black Elk speaks

This book is a poignant tale of a Lakota life, a history of a Native nation, and an enduring spiritual testament.

It recounts Black Elk's youth, his visions, and the struggles of the Sioux people during the late 19th century, including the battles and massacres that drove them into smaller areas of land.

The book also details Black Elk's experiences with the Ghost Dance and his time with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.

It is a powerful and inspirational message that conveys the unity of humanity and Earth, as seen through the eyes of Black Elk and transcribed by John G. Neihardt.
