What I find funny that what he says in the book is almost exactly how I perceived life was when I was a young child, it saddens me that I lost a lot of that just from being immersed in such a materialistic unholy society that pays no respect to mother earth and the great spirit. I'm 1/16th Sioux or maybe more, nothing at all but I've always respected the Sioux beliefs and felt the spirit of everything.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1292235Yes! Even though he didn't write the book "Black Elk Speaks" himself, his child-like purity and honesty comes out. It surprises us and attracts us. Why? Because it is so rare to see someone with the trials he faced to be so wise, humble and honest. I wish I could have met him. He died the year before I was born. Great man. Thank you for this post.
