Author Assertions #9

When Black elk speaks about the coming of the white man, he is preaching that before those people came they were happy and fine. The white man came with his standards and expectations but the Natives do not follow the same rules. He feels that the earth was bountiful and a blessing to them. The white men calls it the wilderness but the Natives call it home and nature. Black elk shows the difference    in the standards and rules between the two. He is expressing his feelings and his opinion.
