Black Elk Speaks
One of my favorite areas of reading are of the Native American stories as is the most recent book that I have just finished, entitled Black Elk Speaks, as told through John G. Neihardt (Flaming Rainbow) by Nicholas Black Elk. It has been named one of the best spiritual books of the 20th century and I’m not surprised because it has been an excellent read.
This is a story of the Lakota visionary and healer Nicholas Black Elk and his people during the nineteenth century during the time that the white settlers started invading their homeland and wiping out the buffalo. It’s a story of their resistance that is very beautifully told and I would urge anyone who is interested in this type of history to pick up a copy and learn and enjoy as I have been.
