The last great Lakota religious leader (Wičháša Wakȟáŋ or Medicine Man) was Black Elk, who died in August, 1950. Several others have been religious figures for the Lakota since then, but Black Elk was the last traditional keeper of the old Lakota rites. He was very passionate about keeping "the hoop" of the Lakota unbroken, so he relayed his life story to John G. Neihardt in the book "Black Elk Speaks," and detailed the intricacies of the Lakota religion to Joseph Epes Brown in the book "The Sacred Pipe."
