Reviews
"Mr. Brown brought to his task genuine respect for the vanishing culture of the Sioux and for the values of their religious system."-- Library Journal, "This is a faithful transcription by Mr. Brown of the words of Black Elk, the last of the Sioux holy men to know his tribe's religious rites, together with their history and significance...Mr. Brown lived with Black Elk on the reservation, and the holy man, in order to preserve the Siouan rites both for the whites and for his own people, told him all he knew of the rites." --Saturday Review, "His admiration for Black Elk and his people is obvious . . . He has done a fine job producing a book that is a valuable contribution to American Indian literature." --San Francisco Chronicle

Pipe smoking in rites of the N.American tribes
Very valuable increament to my library - literature on the rites of North American Indian tribes. I found much of information on the role of ritual pipe smoking, as I am interested on the contacts between history of tobacco between North America an Europe (England and the Netherlands).l
