A fine survey of Native spirituality's encounter with Western standards
Joseph Epes Brown's THE SPIRITUAL LEGACY OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN WITH LETTERS WHILE LIVING WITH BLACK ELK provides a newly revised, updated edition of a classic holding previously unpublished letters written while the author was living with Black Elk. Here the focus is upon his relationship to the Catholic Church and Lakota spirituality alike: a new introduction and editor's preface and a biography of Brown compliments a complete bibliography of his works and a fine survey of Native spirituality's encounter with Western standards.
