Since its publication in 1932, Black Elk Speaks has moved countless readers to appreciate the American Indian world that it described. John Neihardts popular narrative addressed the youth and early adulthood of Black Elk, an Oglala Sioux religious elder. Michael F. Steltenkamp now provides the first full interpretive biography of Black Elk, distilling in one volume what is known of this American Indian wisdom keeper whose life has helped guide others.Nicholas Black Elk: Medicine Man, Missionary, Mystic shows that the holyman was not the dispirited traditionalist commonly depicted in literature, but a religious thinker whose outlook was positive and whose spirituality was not limited solely to traditional Lakota precepts. Combining indepth biography with its cultural context, the author depicts a more complex Black Elk than has previously been known: a world traveler who participated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn yet lived through the beginning of the atomic age.Steltenkamp draws on published and unpublished material to examine closely the last fifty years of Black Elks lifethe period often overlooked by those who write and think of him only as a nineteenthcentury figure. In the process, the author details not just Black Elks life but also the creation of his life story by earlier writers, and its influence on the Indian revitalization movement of the late twentieth century.Nicholas Black Elk explores how a holymans diverse life experiences led to his synthesis of Native and Christian religious practice. The first book to follow Black Elks lifelong spiritual journeyfrom medicine man to missionary and mysticSteltenkamps work provides a muchneeded corrective to previous interpretations of this special mans life story. This biography will lead general readers and researchers alike to rediscover both the man and the rich cultural tradition of his people.
