" "Eagle Voice Remembers"] is John Neihardt's mature and reflective
interpretation of the old Sioux way of life. He served as a
translator of the Sioux past, whose audience has proved not to be
limited by space or time. Through his writings, Black Elk, Eagle
Elk, and other old men who were of that last generation of Sioux to
have participated in the old buffalo-hunting life and the
disorienting period of strife with the U.S. Army found a literary
voice. What they said chronicles a dramatic transition in the life
of the Plains Indians; the record of their thoughts, interpreted by
Neihardt, is a legacy preserved for the future. It transcends the
specifics of this one tragic case of cultural misunderstanding and
conflict and speaks to universal human concerns. It is a story
worth contemplating both for itself and for the lessons it teaches
all humanity."--Raymond J. DeMallie
In her foreword to "Eagle Voice Remembers," Coralie Hughes
discusses Neihardt's intention that this book, formerly titled
"When the Tree Flowered," be understood as a prequel to his classic
"Black Elk Speaks."
