Opis

'In "The Sixth Grandfather", Dr. DeMallie reveals himself to be a uniquely sensitive interpreter of Lakota theology, philosophy, and history - which are all one in traditionalist Lakota thought. His editing is a masterpiece of scholarly skill and spiritual insight, insight that penetrates the inner beings of both Black Elk and John G. Neihardt, two men of vastly different cultures who became one as seekers of the Sacred. "The Sixth Grandfather" is, as it were, the completion of the holy task begun in "Black Elk Speaks and When the Tree Flowered"' - Father Peter J. Powell, author of "People of the Sacred Mountain". 'As a careful anthropological document or a moving personal testimony, the legacy here preserved deserves a wide readership' - "Library Journal". In "Black Elk Speaks and When the Tree Flowered", John C. Neihardt recorded the teachings of the Oglala holy man Black Elk, who had, in a vision, seen himself as the 'sixth grandfather', the spiritual representative of the earth and of mankind. Raymond J. DeMallie makes available for the first time the transcripts from Neihardt's interviews with Black Elk in 1931 and 1944, which formed the basis for the two books. His introduction offers new insights into the life of Black Elk.
