![]() At times, Black Elk remembers his vision. It is 1874, and his people are camped in the Black Hills, in what is now South Dakota. His faith, his.Black Elk is eleven years old. He is a human being, a boy who cries all night when his cousin is killed by whites a young man who went with Buffalo Bill to England and thought Queen Victoria fat, but nice and an old man, who forty years after Wounded Knee still wept and prayed, “O make my people live!” He is not a saint, for he recounts quite calmly how he cut off a white man’s finger to get the ring, how he scalped a corpse at Little Big Horn, and laughed as squaws stabbed to death a wounded soldier. But Black Elk emerges fully rounded, and so does the world he lived in. One can pick up any “as told to” auto biography recounting the life of some celebrity and encounter liter ary personality and prose style flatter than the pages that contain them. His story progresses in seemingly artless fashion and at a leisurely pace, but on closer examination we can see that Neihardt, as editor, was careful to catch the details that made Black Elk human. Paul Engle wrote that it “seems as close as we can ever get to the authentic mind and life of the plains tribes.”8 But the book’s power is in the persona of Black Elk and in the texture of the prose itself. ![]() Robert Sayre, who examined parts of Enid Neihardt’s original transcript and compared them to the finished book, concluded that Neihardt was faithful to what he had heard.1 Dee Brown pro nounced it the finest book in existence on the American Indian,2 and Oliver La Farge lauded it. The content is partly biography, partly history, partly anthropology, partly anecdote, but all told through Black Elk. Neihardt’s daughter Enid took steno graphic notes, and Neihardt used the transcript of these notes to 232 Western American Literature write the book. Black Elk Speaks is not really an autobiography, for Black Elk could neither read nor write indeed, because he could not speak English, he told his story to Neihardt through his son, Ben Black Elk, who acted as interpreter. There are difficulties in discussing the book as literature, for it had a peculiar genesis and belongs to no clear-cut genre unless one accepts Robert Sayre’s term “Indian autobiography”: an In dian’s life story written down by a white interviewer, editor or trans lator. This paper was read at the annual meeting of the Western Literature Association in October 1971 at Red Cloud, Nebraska. But it must also be due to the beauty with which that time and that view are presented. The book’s recent popularity is probably due to the fact that it seems to speak deeply to the twentieth-century yearning for simpler times and a more co herent universe. Black Elk Speaks is an underground classic fast coming above ground-Pocket Books plans soon to release 200,000 copies-and it is of some significance to American literary history that John Nei hardt’s part in the book’s writing be made clear. ![]() Neihardt’s very faith fulness to Black Elk’s spirit and his skill in expressing that spirit have, ironically, eclipsed the effort he spent in writing the book, and often Neihardt has been ignored by press and scholars as if he were merely the instrument Black Elk used to tell his story, and not the shaping intelligence and lyric voice of the book. Neihardt, has received surprisingly little credit for the artistry with which the book is written. But no one, as far as I know, has written about Black Elk Speaks as literature, and while its protagonist, Black Elk, has become a sort of culture hero and underground prophet, the man who wrote Black Elk’s story, John G. It has been cited as evidence of a re ligious revival and used as an ecological handbook. S A L L Y M c C L U S K E Y Northern Illinois University Black Elk Speaks: and So Does John Neihardt Black Elk Speaks has been many things to many people, and has been studied at various times as anthropology, as sociology, as psychology, and as history.

Mark Heggen: Okay, but it's going to be hard to top the last one-I already gave that a five out of five. To give you a sense of how that went, here's a conversation Gavin told me about having with product architect Mark Heggen. Gavin came up with a list of five candidates (I'm not allowed to tell you what the runners-up were, as they're the most likely choices for the next Remastered product if Time Spiral Remastered is successful) and started asking around The Pit for people's preferences. They also normally can't add in old cards that weren't part of that block, but as you'll see, the Time Spiral Remastered design team figured out a way around that. Remember, Remastered sets can't create new cards, they can only make use of cards that were already part of the block. The one big question remaining: which block should they use? Ideally, Gavin wanted a three-set block, as that gave the designers the most room to maneuver and build something new. (I should note that this happened before Amonkhet Remastered and Kaladesh Remastered-the different timelines just resulted in those two products releasing before Time Spiral Remastered.) It was time for tabletop to make a Remastered set. By taking all the cards of a block and condensing the block down to a single draftable set, you got to revisit highlights of old drafts while reconfiguring in a way that could take advantage of modern design tools. Gavin ended up combining these two ideas into one (revisit an old set, but update it in some way), at which point he realized that he had stumbled onto what Tempest Remastered had done. One of the ideas that came out of this project was "redo a set." I think the impetus was to take a set that we felt wasn't as successful as it could have been and take a second attempt at it with all our modern tools. Meanwhile, we'd started a project, codenamed "Canoe," where a bunch of designers (myself included) would meet once a week for two months to spitball big-picture design ideas for the future. Why don't we reprint old Draft environments in their entirety so that players can draft that environment again? Gavin was trying to figure out how to make this happen. One germ of an idea came from a frequent piece of feedback he got from players. Years later, Magic: The Gathering Arena had a similar issue and chose to make Amonkhet Remastered and Kaladesh Remastered, released in 2020.Ī couple of years ago, Gavin Verhey was put in charge of coming up with new ideas for supplemental sets in tabletop. ![]() Tempest Remastered was released on Magic Online in 2015. While I wasn't part of the design team for that product, they did come and talk to me because I'd been the lead designer for Tempest (my very first design lead) and had been on the design teams for Stronghold and Exodus. It would let players get access to cards they were interested in having.Īfter much searching, they decided the block they would use was Tempest (aka Tempest, Stronghold, and Exodus).It would capture the essence of the block.The solution they came up with was to take three sets from an old block (this was back when three-set blocks were the norm) and boil them down into a new large set that would do a few things: The new content had to come from using cards already programmed. This desire came with a lot of parameters, but the biggest one was that it couldn't create any new cards. Magic Online was therefore looking to create some additional content. Players tend to run through content faster in digital than tabletop because it's much easier to get in a lot of games digitally. Magic Online had a problem it was trying to solve. ![]() Welcome to Time Spiral Remastered previews! I'm going to walk you through the story of how this product came to be and then show off a few cards from the set. ![]() Not negatives but there are some points that you need to be cautious about: With ‘Quarantine Manager’, you can view all the detected items in one window and decide whether to restore them or remove them permanently.Ībove all, it even has a self-removal feature that lets it uninstall itself from the system by clicking on ‘Uninstall’ button shown in its window.

In late December, Mayor Durkan announced families would receive 50 percent off childcare copays for CCAP and SPR childcare programs from January to March, and this latest announcement extends the 50 percent copay benefit through the end of June. The City first announced copay relief in November, with family copays (the amount families owe after their subsidy or scholarship is applied) being waived 100 percent for the final two months of 2020.
