"The Holy Land is everywhere." -- Black Elk
From the series "INTO AFRICA"
Nicholas Black Elk
Heȟáka Sápa
December 1863 – August 19, 1950
Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux
A vision from Black Elk:
“And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.”

.."At the center of the Universe Dwells the Great Spirit. And that center is really everywhere. It is within each of us." -Black Elk 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… When they realize that at the center of the Universe dwells the Great Spirit (Wakan-Tanka), and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and 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 is within the souls of human beings…” 🙏 #native #nativeamerican #firstnations #wisdom #nativewisdom #blackelk #spirituality #soul #connection #greatspirit #wakantanka #universe #earth #harmony #spirit #peace #power #energy #realpeace #nations #worldpeace #humanity #humanbeing #spiritual #spiritguide #eagle #life
About this Quote
Black Elk’s line is a rebuke disguised as counsel: stop treating war as a policy problem and start admitting it is a spiritual failure. Coming from an Oglala Lakota holy man who watched the Plains world collapse under U.S. expansion, the sentence carries more than uplift. It’s an indictment of treaties and “peace” agreements that functioned as paperwork for conquest. If the soul is still organized around domination, fear, and entitlement, any truce is just a pause between aggressions.
The rhetoric works because it reverses the usual hierarchy. Nations like to imagine themselves as the main characters of history, with individuals as props. Black Elk flips it: the nation is a projection, a magnified version of whatever is happening inside people. “Known” is the sharp word here. He’s not asking for a temporary feeling or a sloganized serenity; he’s talking about a disciplined recognition, the kind that changes behavior. Peace is framed as something you encounter and practice internally before you can credibly demand it externally.
The subtext is also quietly strategic. For a people subjected to forced relocation, broken promises, and cultural erasure, insisting on inner peace is not passivity; it’s a refusal to let the invader finish the job by colonizing the psyche. He’s offering a standard that exposes performative diplomacy: you can sign documents all day, but if the “souls of men” remain at war, the nations they build will be, too."

Hello from a McDonalds on Interstate 80, I am on my way to a pinning ceremony for a former Lock Haven student, one of the more incredible students I ever had the opportunity to have in my class(es). She ended up with me by accident when I took over a class at a sister institution because of an emergency leave. She would follow up an take my technical writing course. Industrious, intentional,…

Yesterday, we hiked up Black Elk Peak (aka Harney Peak), the highest point east of the Rocky Mountains and west of the Pyrenees in Europe. Today, I am tired. 🙃 #blackhills #blackhillsnationalforest #custerstatepark #blackelk #blackelkpeak #harneypeak #southdakota #optoutside #hiking #thegreatoutdoors #summer #vacation (at Black Elk Peak) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRFdztJlhkmNuPNpAMcLuEP6ayP20buivzwhNQ0/?utm_medium=tumblr
