In our episode this week, we review the book, Black Elk Speaks. This is a tragic, beautiful, and contemplative telling of the cataclysmic fate of the Native American peoples as seen through the eyes of one of their spiritual leaders, Black Elk, and the words of the white man who wrote down his thoughts.
We journey from the Battle of the Little Bighorn to Victorian, England. From the Black Hills of South Dakota to ghost worlds in the sky. Epic journeys and tragic events.
This episode shook me to the core to produce and I hope you find this as fascinating and thought provoking as I did.
