Presents the story of the Oglala Lakota visionary and healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863-1950) and
his people during momentous twilight years of the nineteenth century. It offers readers much
more than a precious glimpse of a vanished time. Black Elk's searing visions of the unity of
humanity and Earth conveyed by John G. Neihardt have made this book a classic that crosses
multiple genres.
