 Rating 5   Black Elk Speaks
This is perhaps the finest primary source in Native American studies you will every read. Black Elk was born in a tepee, a witness to the Little Big Horn and documents the vanishing way of life.

 Rating 5   An Excellent Read!
Black Elk Speaks is a gift for my husband's birthday this month. This book is excellent in that it gives us a really intimate look into the life of a Native American. We cannot know this holy man any other way, since he has been dead long years. If we want to know about our country and its early people, this book is one we need to read. It is excellently written and clearly gets my vote as a worthwhile piece of nonfiction.

 Rating 5   Wonderful, patient wisdom.
I saw this was rated one star and couldn't believe it. Now I see it was not the book that was being rated but erroneously it was the "seller" who failed to deliver. The seller should have given negative feedback to the seller and left the book alone.


This is a wonderful book on so many levels. I went back to college at 40+ and read it then. Later on I bought it for my grown son. It's full of patient wisdom and compassion that we all need to remember how to use and seldom see anymore. Some things never go out of style. They touch on basic human qualities and needs.

 Rating 1   Never Got the book
I would like to review this product but due to the fact it was never sent to me I can't oblige. AB
