This powerful and inspirational message shares the story of Nicholas Black Elk, an Oglala Lakota visionary and healer, and his people during the tumultuous 19th century.

Deloria and annotations of Black Elk's story by renowned Lakota scholar Raymond J. DeMallie. The book includes three essays by John G. Neihardt, pieces by Vine Deloria Jr., Raymond J.
