Black Elk's Religion : The Sun Dance and Lakota Catholicism by Clyde Holler (1995, Trade Paperback) Great book for anyone interested in Native American study. The book details the spiritual life of the Lakota leader Black Elk. In 1883 the US government banned the Lakota Sun Dance but through his creative processes and his true Christian passion Black Elk creatively brought the merger of the two religious expressions.
