Black Elk's Account of the Seven Rites of the Oglala Sioux. Ed. by Joseph Epes Brown. "This is a faithful transcription by Mr. Brown of the words of Black Elk, the last of the Sioux holy men to know his tribe’s religious rites, together with their history and significance . . .. Mr. Brown lived with Black Elk on the reservation, and the holy man, in order to preserve the Siouan rites both for the whites and for his own people, told him all he knew of the rites." - Saturday Review "The Sacred Pipe will be read with interest and pleasure by all those interested in the religious doctrines and associated rites of preliterate North America." - Pacific Northwest Quarterly |
