“Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is.”  -- Black Elk, in Black Elk Speaks

Black Elk-Neihardt Park in Blair, Nebraska, is a city park named for Black Elk, an Oglala Lakota, and John G. Neihardt, Nebraska's Poet Laureate. Neihardt is the author of Black Elk Speaks, which he wrote after a series of interviews with Black Elk in 1931 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where Black Elk lived.
