Black Elk Speaks

I thought an interesting part of Black Elk's vision was when the morning star was brought up, "Then the day break star was rising, and a Voice said: 'It shall be a relative to them; and who shall see it, shall see much more, for thence comes wisdom; and those who do not see it shall be dark.' And all the people raised their faces to the east, and the star's light fell upon them..." I think this quote represents the goodness in the Native Americans and the evil in the white people because the white people were too focused on moving westward. In their attempts to push westward, their faces would not have the light of the morning star upon their faces.Thus hinting that the white people where more corrupt than the Native Americans because they were in the dark. This can also relate to how the Native Americans considered themselves one with nature. Obviously the white people in this time period did not consider themselves to be one with nature because they exploited it and destroyed it for their own personal gains.
