Shadows


Shadows

There was a seer who was born an Oglala Sioux in the old days of the "Indian Wars" in America.

He had a vision--a hoop of the nation crossed by two roads--a good "red road" and a bad "black road"--and in the center where the roads crossed
-- was a stick which became a tree and bloomed.

This was a symbol of hope to him.

You may read his life story in the book by John Neihardt: Black Elk Speaks published by the University of Nebraska Press (
first edition, 1933).

A good read.
