Black Elk Speaks
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper which discusses the book "Black Elk Speaks: Being
the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux," translated and published by John
Neihardt, and argues that it is a tale of how the his tribe, and perhaps all Native American
Tribes, lost much of what was precious to them. We examine the fact that the death of
their power and way of life could have been caused by the arrival of the White man, but
that it could also have been for reasons unknown as of yet, which is, in many ways, what
Black Elk seems to be saying. The White man, therefor, was only a tool that helped
destroy the way of life and the power of the Native peoples. No additional sources cited.

California Native (Indians) to 1900.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) From documented information, according to
McWilliams (1979) it is estimated that there were
about 130,000 Indians in California. If that
figure is close to accurate that would have meant
that California had about 16% of Native America
n peoples in the United States with about 5% of the
land mass of the nation. Their history after
the "periods of invasion" runs from bad to worse.
