Description

Black Elk Speaks: A Visionary's Story for All Humanity. 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. The book conveys Black Elk's searing visions of unity and Earth, conveyed by John G. Neihardt, offering a poignant tale of a Lakota life, a history of a Native nation, or an enduring spiritual testament. The complete edition features a new introduction by historian Philip J. 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. DeMallie, Alexis Petri, and Lori Utecht, as well as maps, original illustrations, and a set of appendixes. With its rich history and spiritual significance, Black Elk Speaks is an unforgettable work that continues to resonate with readers today.
