Thiel Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. Whispering Wind, Vol. 37, No. 2 (2007): 14-18. Publisher link. © 2007 Written Heritage. Used with permission. Black Elk's Legacy By Mark Thiel All photographs are courtesy of Marquette University and from its Bureau of Catholic Indian ehaka Sapa or Black Elk Missions Records, unless noted otherwise. H(1863-1950) lived one of the most controversial lives of the 20th century. To most Americans, he is best-known from Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux, as told through John G. Neihardt (Neihardt, 1979). It chronicles his life as a warrior, wild-west show dancer, and medicine man (photo right) and, although called his life story, the book ends abruptly in 1890 at the Wounded Knee massacre on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where Black Elk as a 27-year old was wounded. Black Elk dressed as a distinguished elder, probably at the Duhamel's Sioux Indian Pageant, Black Hills, South Dakota, W. Ben Hunt, photographer, ca . 1939. This image is accessible online in the Marquette University Digital Collections. In 1929, Black Elk and the Duhamel family organized a pageant near the developing Mount Rushmore Monument. The pageant included short renditions of Lakota ceremonies and dances narrated by Black Elk to educate tourists about Lakota heritage. It is believed that Black Elk's evolving narration provided the basis for his last collaborative book, The Sacred Pipe: Black Elk's Account of the Seven Rites of the Oglala Sioux, for which he was interviewed in 1947 and 1948.

  • What Sort of Indian Will Show the Way? Colonization, Mediation, and Interpretation in the Sun Dance Contact Zone
    WHAT SORT OF INDIAN WILL SHOW THE WAY? COLONIZATION, MEDIATION, AND INTERPRETATION IN THE SUN DANCE CONTACT ZONE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sandra Garner, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Lindsay Jones, Advisor Maurice Stevens Richard Shiels Copyright by Sandra Garner 2010 ABSTRACT This research project focuses on the Sun Dance, an Indigenous ritual particularly associated with Siouan people, as a site of cultural expression where multiple, often conflicting concerns, compete for hegemonic dominance. Since European contact the Sun Dance has been variously practiced, suppressed, reclaimed, revitalized, and transformed. It has also evoked strong sentiments both from those that sought to eradicate its practices as well as those who have sought its continuance. In spite of a period of intense colonial repression, during the last three decades the Siouan form of the Sun Dance has become one of the most widely practiced religious rituals from Indigenous North America and the number of Sun Dances held and the numbers of people participating has grown significantly. How has the Sun Dance ritual endured in spite of a lengthy history of repression? What is it about the Sun Dance that evokes such powerful sentiments? And, how do we account for the growth of the Sun Dance. I argue that the current growth and practice of the Sun Dance must be considered within the context of colonialism; a central focus of this dissertation. I identify the complex and messy ways that individuals mediate the inequitable power relations that shape colonialist interactions, as well as the way they interpret these social spaces.

My sisters and I were so used to packing up and hitting the road in the family station wagon (later a minivan), that our childhood trips blur together. Oftentimes we visited our paternal grandparents in Sidney, Nebraska, or our maternal grandparents in Lincoln, Nebraska. But on special occasions we would take lengthy road trips that ended with destinations in the Appalachian Mountains, the Gulf of Mexico, Yellowstone National Park, and Myrtle Beach. As an ―East River‖ South Dakotan, driving six hours west to visit the Black Hills was hardly as exciting as going to the beach.

Despite the fact that Crow Dog had satisfied tribal custom, those outside Lakota soci- ety called Spotted Tail's death "a cold-blooded political assassination" and called for his trial in the ccjurts of the United States,^ This interpretation of Spotted Tail as a blameless victim has survived over time, but closer scruti- ny of the state of affairs between the two men at this crit- ical juncture in Lakota history reveals that Spotted Tail had violated Lakota codes of honor and pushed the boundaries of tradition to the breaking point, contributing to his own demise.

  • Nnn Cheyenne River Sioux Traditions and Resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline
    nnn Cheyenne River Sioux Traditions and Resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline Ryan Goeckner, Sean M. Daley, Jordyn Gunville, and Christine M. Daley n ABSTRACT: The No Dakota Access Pipeline resistance movement provides a poignant example of the way in which cultural, spiritual, and oral traditions remain authorita- tive in the lives of American Indian peoples, specifically the Lakota people. Confronted with restrictions of their religious freedoms and of access to clean drinking water due to construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), members of Lakota communi- ties engaged with traditions specific to their communities to inform and structure the No DAPL resistance movement. A series of interviews conducted on the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation with tribal members reveal that Lakota spiritual traditions have been integral to every aspect of the movement, including the motivations for, organiza- tion of, and understanding of the future of the movement. n KEYWORDS: activism, American Indian, Dakota Access Pipeline, Lakota, oral tradition, resistance, spirituality Ho tunksila wakan tanka Grandfather, Great Spirit; Tateuye topa na ate wakan tanka Four Winds, also Father, Great Spirit, hear Namahonpo me; Wiyohpeyata wakainyan oyate kin To the west, Thunder Being people, look Ahintonwanpo upon me; Na Wiyohinyanpata sinte sapala oyate kin To the north, Buffalo people, look upon me; Ahintonwanpo To the east, Black Tail Deer people, look Na itokagata wanbli oyate kin upon me; Ahintonwanpo To the south, Eagle people, look upon me; Na maka ina na unci maka Mother Earth and Grandmother Earth, look Ahintonwanpo upon me; Na wakatkiya na wakatkiya And upwards and upwards, look upon me; Ahintonwanpo To the center, Spotted Eagle, look upon me.
