THAT THE PEOPLE MAY LIVE: That the People May Live - The Life and
Legacy of Nicholas Black Elk, Holy Man of the Lakota with Damian Costello.
Join us virtually
as we explore the life and legacy of Nicholas Black Elk (c.1866-1950), the
Lakota holy man made famous by the book Black Elk Speaks. Mr. Costello begins
with Black Elk's Great Vision and his struggle to discern his calling during
the events of the Great Sioux War. During his long life, Black Elk lived out
his vision in three overlapping roles: as a traditional healer, a Catholic teacher,
and a revivalist of Indigenous traditions. In the midst of great tragedy, Black
Elk wove these three strands into one beautiful life exemplifying survival,
hope, and reconciliation.
We will discuss
the relevance of Black Elk's legacy for broader questions of Abenaki survival
in Northern New England, hope in the face of global environmental problems, and
reconciliation in the midst of growing political and religious sectarianism.
This talk is based on extensive historical research, extended residency in Indian
Country, and continuing conversation with Lakota elders.
This epic event is
sponsored by the NH Humanities and will be via Zoom on Thursday, March 18th
at 6:00 PM. Registration is required.
