Course Description

Nicholas Black Elk stands behind the great spiritual and religious classic, Black Elk Speaks, written by John Neihardt. The book has inspired and enkindled love and fascination with the religious tradition and perspectives of the Lakota people as they experienced the calamities surrounding the so-called Great Sioux War. Black Elk recounts his first-hand memories and experiences as a medicine man through these battles, victories, losses, hopes, and tragedies. This course will introduce the study of indigenous religious traditions, read and discuss Black Elk Speaks, and discuss interpretations of the questions the book poses to us.
