This biography of Black Elk is based on extensive interviews
with Lucy Looks Twice, the holy man's last surviving child, as well
as others who knew him personally. Michael F. Steltenkamp sheds new
light on the figure portrayed in Black Elk Speaks as a victim of
Western subjugation, doomed to live out his life as a relic of the
past. Instead, Steltenkamp reveals that in 1904 Black Elk was
baptized a Catholic and subsequently served as a devoted catechist
and missionary to his fellow American Indians until his death in
1950.
