An account of how the Oglala Sioux have come to know God, nature, and their fellow men. "During my residence with the Sioux of the Pine Ridge Reservation, I was extremely fortunate to find an old priest of the Oglala Sioux, Black Elk (Hehaka Sapa), who asked me to stay with him that I might record an account of their ancient religion; this old man knew that he was soon to die, and he did not wish that this sacred lore, much of which he alone knew, should pass away with him. Thus I lived with Black Elk for eight winter months of 1947-48, and during this time I recorded daily what he told me, and in addition to what I learned I profited greatly from the fine life among his family and many friends. Black Elk is no longer living, but this is his book, and it is my hope that through this work he will continue to live, and that those who read it will understand better that which formed the center and very life of this great people:--Page x.
