Summary

Nicholas Black Elk explores how a holy-man's diverse life experiences led to his synthesis of Native and Christian religious practice. The first book to follow Black Elk's lifelong spiritual journey--from medicine man to missionary and mystic--Steltenkamp's work provides a much-needed corrective to previous interpretations of this special man's life story. This biography will lead general readers and researchers alike to rediscover both the man and the rich cultural tradition of his people
