I got this from the library after reading a reference to it in Future Home of the Living God. It tells of the Lakota Indian traditions and culture as documented by Neihardt in interviews with Black Elk, an Ogala Lakota medicine. man. Black Elk's son translated for Neihardt so there are layers of interpretation. The book became a cult hit in the 70's. I admit I couldn't finish the translated stories though I did read most of the historical evolution and looked at the pictures.
