Nicholas Black Elk (1863-1950) is arguably the best known and most influential Native American of the twentieth century. His story and teachings, first recorded by John G. Neihardt in Black Elk Speaks, have played a critical role in shaping the way in which Native Americans and others view the past, present, and future of Native America. What has happened to Black Elk's world and family since the Lakota holy man spoke to Neihardt? Here, for the first time, the descendents of Black Elk tell us about their lives and their people and how the legacy of Black Elk affects them today. These conversations offer an intimate look at life on the Pine Ridge Reservation and fresh perspectives on the religious, economic, and political opportunities and challenges facing the Lakota people in the twenty-first century. In addition to learning more about Black Elk the healer, the family also provide glimpses of Black Elk as a family man, teacher, and influential ancestor. These insightful conversations make clear that the legacy of Black Elk is very much alive today. Esther Black Elk DeSersa and Olivia Black Elk Pourier are the granddaughters of Nicholas Black Elk. Aaron DeSersa Jr. and Clifton DeSersa are the great-grandsons of Black Elk. Hilda Neihardt is the daughter of John G. Neihardt and emeritus chair of the board of the John G. Neihardt Foundation. She is the author of Black Elk and Flaming Rainbow (Nebraska 1995). Lori Utecht is a former executive director of the John G. Neihardt State Historic Site. Charles Trimble is a member of the board of the John G. Neihardt Foundation.
