- I gave you a reading called "excerpts from Black Elk Speaks." So, read it and mark it up! You don't need to have it completed until next Wednesday. We'll talk more about the context here, but remember that overall, we're looking at how different pieces of literature help us understand the Native American experience. This text is Black Elk's story, told to John Neihardt starting around 1930, on the Pine Ridge Reservation. You can find more information here.
