Walker Brents III will from time to time over the next several months address Native American myths & symbols in a series of talks. Today: John Neihardt and Black Elk.  The mysterious journey of each one’s daimon, questing in the mythic west, culminating in the prophetic beauty of Black Elk Speaks. Neihardt is an influential presence, a fierce post-transcendentalist with a voracious appetite for an adventurous truth.
