A Cycle of the West by John G. Neihardt is a sweeping poetic epic chronicling the saga of Native American history and the American frontier. Divided into five narrative poems, it recounts events from the perspective of indigenous leaders and spiritual figures. Neihardt’s blend of lyrical beauty and historical depth gives voice to Native American experiences, particularly in works like Black Elk Speaks, making it a vital contribution to American literature and indigenous storytelling.
