   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. "Black Elk Speaks, 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, 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. Whether appreciated as the poignant tale of a Lakota life, a history of a Native nation, or an enduring spiritual testament, Black Elk Speaks is unforgettable" The author sat with Black Elk and others of the Lakota and wrote down as translated a wonderful story of prophesy, being at the battle of the Little Big Horn, and being involved in the Ghost Dance and the massacre at Wounded Knee as well as the attempted breaking/eradication of the native people and their beliefs. This should be required reading in school.

I was hoping for quotes/sayings of Black Elk, not a blow by blow. Interesting to see this perspective having read Son of the Morning Star. ( ) shaundeane | Sep 13, 2020 | i would give this a higher rating but apparently Black Elk did not write it himself. (  ) JoeHamilton | Jul 21, 2020 |
 … Based on interviews given by Lakota holy man Nicolas Black Elk (1863-1950)… a moving portrait of Black Elk emerges. He believed he should use his visions and special powers to help the Lakota return to a good life…. Yet he could find no way to make this dream a reality, and Neihardt emphasizes Black Elk's mournful recognition of this failure. However, since Neihardt intended his book as a work of art rather than an anthropological oral history, he felt free to add thoughts of his own and to omit the more optimistic side of Black Elk's views….
