Black Elk (Hehaka Sapa), en français Wapiti Noir, né en 1863 et mort en 1950, est un docteur et homme sacré de la tribu des indiens Lakota (Sioux). Il fut un petit cousin du célèbre chef indien Crazy Horse. Il participa à l’âge de 13 ans à la bataille de Little Big Horn en 1876 et fut blessé en 1890 lors du massacre de Wounded Knee. En 1887, il voyagea en Angleterre au sein du spectacle Wild Wild West de Buffalo Bill. [1] dans le cadre de ce qu'il décrivit ultérieurement comme une pénible expérience (au chapitre 20 du recueil de souvenir publié sous le titre Black Elk Speaks (Wapiti Noir raconte [2]).

Certaines traductions eerronées indiquent Élan alors que le terme anglais pour ce mot est "Moose"


Ses mémoires, retranscrits en 1932 par John Neihardt et à Joseph Epes Brown, révélant certains rituels lakotas, furent un succès de librairie.
