Visions of a Lakota Holy Man

Black Elk Speaks

(American Esoteric) Let us read from Black Elk Speaks as told to author John G. Neihardt, published in 1932. Black Elk, also known as Hehaka Sapa, was impressed by the visionary Northern Paiute religious leader Wovoka and his Ghost Dance of 1890, a Native American renewal movement.
