Black Elk , en français Wapiti noir, né le 1er décembre 1863 et mort le 19 août 1950 , est un homme-médecine et un chef de la tribu des Indiens Oglalas . Il fut un petit cousin du célèbre chef indien Crazy Horse. Il participa à l’âge de 13 ans à la bataille de Little Bighorn en 1876 et fut blessé en 1890 lors du massacre de Wounded Knee. En 1887, il voyagea en Angleterre au sein du spectacle Wild West Show de Buffalo Bill, et se perdit à Londres, devant y séjourner durant deux ans dans l'attente du retour de Buffalo Bill en 1889, dans le cadre de ce qu'il décrivit ultérieurement comme une pénible expérience Wikipedia

Black Elk

Song of the White Bison Woman who brought the sacred pipe to men.
Black Elk Speaks (1961)

“The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells Wakan-Tanka, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men.”
