"Let's Talk About It, Oklahoma" Series
7-9 p.m., Tuesday January 22
Near the end of his life, Oglala Sioux visionary Black Elk tells poet Neihardt the story of his power-vision journey. Called by many "The Fifth Testament", Black Elk Speaks moves from Wounded Knee Crazy Horse to the end of a people's way of life. This shaman comes to realize that the central mountain of his vision is not just in the Black Hilss, that God is a circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.
