What is the book Black Elk Speaks by John G. Neihardt about?

Answer 1

It is an autobiography about a Sioux medicine man, who was alive and present for some of the major Native American events in history, like the battle of little bighorn and wounded knee. I read it for my college anthropology class, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Here is a link.
