William S. Lyon, PhD, an anthropologist, is author of the Encyclopedia of Native American Healing, the Encyclopedia of Native American Shamanism, and Spirit Talkers: North American Indian Medicine Powers. He is coauthor, with Wallace Black Elk of Black Elk: The Sacred Ways of a Lakota.
He explains how he came to work with and participate in the ceremonies of native American shamans. In particular he describes his relationship with Wallace Black Elk and also Godfrey Chipps. He speculates that he may have been a Lakota shaman named Hollow Horn in a previous lifetime. He recounts many eyewitness stories regarding medicine powers -- including apports, reanimating lifeless animals, affecting the weather, and shape-shifting. He discusses these abilities in the context of the worldview and the tragic history of native American peoples.
