Alce Negro foi um célebre pajé e homem santo da tribo sioux da América do Norte. Black Elk é mais conhecido por relacionar seus pontos de vista religiosos, visões e eventos de sua vida ao poeta John Neihardt. Neihardt os publicou em seu livro Black Elk Speaks em 1932. Este livro já foi publicado em várias edições, mais recentemente em 2008. Perto do fim de sua vida, ele gravou os sete ritos sagrados dos Sioux para o etnólogo Joseph Epes Brown que foram publicado em 1947 no livro O Cachimbo Sagrado. Houve um grande interesse por essas obras entre os membros do Movimento Indígena Americano desde a década de 1970 e por outros que queriam aprender mais sobre as religiões nativas americanas .

Black Elk converteu-se ao catolicismo, tornando-se catequista, mas também continuou a praticar cerimônias Lakota. A Diocese Católica Romana de Rapid City abriu uma causa oficial para sua beatificação dentro da Igreja Católica Romana em 2016. Seu neto, George Looks Twice disse: "Ele estava confortável orando com este cachimbo e seu rosário, e participou da missa e cerimônias Lakota em uma base regular". Wikipedia

Black Elk Speaks (1961)

“The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells Wakan-Tanka, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men.”
