I've just finished reading this to my daughter Celyn (11, too disabled to read for herself).

Black Elk: The Sacred Ways of a Lakota

Author	Wallace Black Elk
ISBN	0062500740

I wanted to like this book more than 3 stars... it probably deserves more than that. But I fall into the category of people Black Elk refers to as "educated". Which means I've been to school, college, etc and some of the more basic truths have probably been schooled right out of me. I did like the ideas he talks...
