Black Elk (1866-1950) lived a humble and holy life in South Dakota as a traditional medicine man and Catholic catechist. Known worldwide through books such as Black Elk Speaks and Black Elk: Holy Man of the Oglala, his life has inspired many to follow in his footsteps. Now a number of people of faith are calling on the Catholic Church to declare him a saint in heaven. The presentation was developed by Marquette University archivist Mark G. Thiel, with narration by Ben Black Bear, Jr.
