Black Elk Lives - Conversations with the Black Elk Family (Paperback)

Nicholas Black Elk was arguably the best known and most influential Native American of the 20th century. His story and teachings have played a critical role in shaping the way in which Native Americans and others view the past, present, and future of Native America. What has happened to Black Elk's world and family since the Lakota holy man spoke to Neihardt? Here, for the first time, the descendents of Black Elk tell us about their lives and their people and how the legacy of Black Elk affects them today. These conversations offer an intimate look at life on the Pine Ridge Reservation and fresh perspectives on the religious, economic, and political opportunities and challenges facing the Lakota people in the 21st century. In addition to learning more about Black Elk the healer, the family also provide glimpses of Black Elk as a family man, teacher, and influential ancestor. These insightful conversations make clear that the legacy of Black Elk is very much alive today.
