Black Elk's Vision: A Lakota Story by S.D. Nelson

4.0

This biography reminded me strongly of Bruchac's Crazy Horse biography. Equal weight is given to his visions and the invasion of the Wasichu. The photographs give excellent primary source documentation of the slaughter of the bison, the encroachment of the trains and towns, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, and the massacre at Wounded Knee.
Simply written and accessible for elementary and middle school.
