Important work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Elk's Story: Distinguishing Its Lakota Purpose (Paperback)
For anyone studying Native American history and lore, this book is an important resource. It at once explains, expands and corrects the many misconceptions and inaccuracies in Neihardt's "Black Elk Speaks" and provides a new perspective on Black Elk's, the person's, life. Rice debunks many of the myths created by Neihardt, and puts Black Elk's words back into their proper perspective.Anyone who seriously intends to discover Bl;ack Elk and his meanings must read this book. After you do, you might understand part of the reason Native People dislike the pseudo-spiritual "new age" importance so many misguided folks place on the fictional poetry of John Neihardt. |
