The massacre sealed the fate of a whole people Black Elk, the great medicine man, prophesied that strength would not return to his people until seven generations had passed. The time has come."--the publisher. A beautiful and touching photographic narrative that contains interviews with the people of the Pine Ridge, cheyenne River, and Standing Rock reservations. Swiss-born photographer Freisager masterfully conveys the hopes, thoughts, and inner-strength of these culturally rich, yet poverty-stricken people.
