During the winter of 188081, Black Hawk, a Lakota artist living on the Cheyenne River Sioux reservation, drew seventysix vivid images depicting complex scenes of ceremonial activity, personal visions, historical events, and nature studies. Having recently emerged from obscurity, Black Hawks drawing book now stands as the most complete visual record extant of Lakota art of the early reservation period (187595). It is published here in full, for the first time, with fine quality color plates of each drawing. Detailed commentary accompanies the drawings, providing insight into Lakota religion, art, and culture in the nineteenth century. Some of Black Hawks illustrations are the only known drawings of ceremonies described in ethnographic works such as Black Elk Speaks, the famous account of visions experienced by Lakota holy man Black Elk. The ceremonies depicted in Black Hawks drawings include the Sun Dance, buffalo transformation ceremonies, and ceremonies honoring the sacred pipe. He also recorded scenes of Lakota encounters with the Crow, of buffalo hunting, and of wildlife. An invaluable contribution to our knowledge of Native American history and art, Black Hawks drawing book is a window unto a complex and eloquent world. 76 color illustrations, 20 b/w illustrations.

I had high hopes for 'Spirit Beings and Sun Dancers', but the print quality was not what I expected. Some pages were blurry, which really took away from the beautiful artwork. I reached out for a replacement, but I’m not sure if I’ll keep it.

A Beautiful Cultural Insight
I bought 'Spirit Beings and Sun Dancers' for my collection, and it didn't disappoint. The illustrations are vibrant and truly capture the essence of Lakota culture. It’s more than just a book; it's a glimpse into their world. Highly recommend for anyone interested in indigenous stories!

Rich Content but Lacks Depth
While I appreciated the artistic vision in 'Spirit Beings and Sun Dancers', I found some parts a bit lacking in detail. The stories are engaging but I wish there was more context surrounding the illustrations. It's still a nice addition to my library but had potential for more depth.
