The Sioux Legend The Rabbit and the Elk

Animals are always human leaders, tell them about the dangers that are coming, tell them how to hunt, collect and find fresh water. The way animals are so important makes Native Americans begin to use life-based lessons based on stories from these animals. The story about these animals highlights the benefits of these animals and repeatedly teaches the children "smart, gentle, courageous and happy" just like certain birds and animals (Caduto and Bruchac, XI).

Black Elk Speaks is a work by two collaborators of Oglala Sioux's wise man Black Elk and American Indian culture-sensitive White John G. Neihardt, who worked in 1931 for Pine Ridge's I interviewed Black with a reservation. In addition, Elk enriches and offers art forms for Black Elk accounts. Black Elk is the adventure story of Sue's boys in adulthood. In the early memory of the black elk, the father was injured in the fight between Fetterman and Waschuchus (Caucasian), but at the beginning they seemed like a bad dream he could not understand. Then the man knew more about white people and saw white people for the first time when he was 10 years old. As he was five years old, his grandfather gave him a bow and arrow like other boys murdered in his Waschus.

Nicholas Black Elk, a more widely-known "black elk", was born in the Xiaofen River in December 1863, through Wyoming State and eastern province of Montana. His father, also known as Black Elk, is a lakotas shaman, or medical scientist, consistent with the rest of his paternal. In 1866, under the guidance of the great Ogela Chief Red Cloud, the American cavalry team fought against Oglala band and injured black olfactor in the older. After losing confidence in his leader, the black moose brought his family to join another respected Ogra leader, Crazy Horse. With this movement, in the battle of Little Big Horn in June, 1876, a young black moose was able to participate in the defeat of a famous caster. A year later, after a crazy horse was killed, the young black moose and the rest of his band ran to Canada to join the cow. In the last few years, he and his people witnessed the preservation era and the beginning of the era of buffalo extinction.
