About this ebook

If you were told that the Native Americans in the US and the Tibetans of Asia have something in common, will you believe it? In all probability, the answer will be a big no. The indigenous people of America who have now become too barbaric and atavistic to an American, are the aborigines of the land. The Lakota people are just one of the tribes in the Native Indian lineage. Famous among them is the spiritual teacher and guide Black Elk. Born in present-day Wyoming, Black Elk needs no introduction to Native Americans and fortunately, many among the non-Natives are also making an effort to know and understand Black Elk and his contributions to the Native community.

This book tells the story of people who were cruelly removed from their land and made to live in ostracized ghettos known as “reservations”. Their sacred land robbed, their children torn apart from families, their culture and identity threatened, the story of Native Americans is one of trauma, grave injustice, and oppression. This book attempts to be the voice of the voiceless. They have been fighting for the land that holds in its womb the bones of their ancestors and the very essence of spiritual belonging of the Lakota. The nectar of the story of Black Elk and his people cannot be drawn without immersing oneself in nostalgic surrealism.
