Black Elk & Flaming Rainbow, Personal Memories of the Lakota Holy Man and John Neihardt

$15.95

In 1931 John Neihardt traveled to Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota to interview Lakota elders who had witnessed the Ghost Dance and the Wounded Knee Massacre. He met Black Elk, and their two weeks of intense talks became Black Elk Speaks; accompanying him to help observe and take notes were his two daughters, Enid and Hilda. Black Elk & Flaming Rainbow is Hilda Neihardt’s memories of those interviews. She celebrates the days and nights of storytelling, camping, feasting and horseback riding with the fresh eyes of a bright fourteen year old. The volume includes never-before-published photographs and answers many questions about the collaboration between the Lakota holy man and her father, called Peta Wigamou-Gke, or Flaming Rainbow.
