Black Elk Speaks
v1.0.0John G. Neihardt's "Black Elk Speaks: The Complete Edition" — an executable toolkit for understanding the spiritual vision of a Lakota holy man, the sacred hoop of life, the power of the pipe ceremony, and the resilience of a people who faced destruction and preserved their soul. Covers 5 use cases: ① Vision Integration — receiving and making sense of a life-defining vision ("I had an experience that changed everything. How do I live it?") ② The Sacred Hoop — understanding interconnectedness with all life ("I feel disconnected from nature and community. How do I find the center?") ③ Spiritual Resilience — maintaining faith when your world is destroyed ("Everything I believed in is being taken from me. How do I go on?") ④ Living by Ceremony — using ritual to ground daily life ("I need structure and meaning. How did the Lakota use ceremony?") ⑤ Bearing Witness — telling your truth when the world doesn't want to hear it ("I need to speak about what happened to my people. Will anyone listen?") Trigger when users say: "I had a vision/dream that I don't understand" "I feel disconnected from the earth" "My culture/community is being erased" "I need meaning beyond material life" "I want to understand native spirituality" "My world is falling apart" "I need to tell my story" "The sacred circle of life is broken" or mention: Black Elk / Lakota / Oglala / sacred hoop / Wounded Knee / Ghost Dance / heyoka / pipe ceremony Also triggers when the user says they just installed this skill or doesn't know how to start — the AI MUST proactively present the Quick Start guide below.
