Black Elk Speaks

Does Black Elk feel as though he has fulfilled his calling? (related to the vision he mentions at the beginning of the book).

Thank you

Despite Black Elk’s desire to rescue his people and restore their sacred hoop, his spiritual power cannot counteract the Wasichu. His people are still killed and suffer degradation and Black Elk feels he has failed his people.
