The Indiana University professor Raymond DeMallie, who has studied the Lakota by cultural and linguistic resources, published "The Sixth Grandfather" in 1985 including the original transcripts of the conversations with Black Elk, plus his own introduction, analysis and notes. They have questioned the accuracy of the account, which has elements of a collaborative autobiography, spiritual text, and other genres. While the book is lauded by non-Native audiences, and has been inspirational to many New Age groups, some Lakota people and Native American scholars do not consider the book to be representative of Lakota beliefs. Neihardt also states that Black Elk shared some of the Oglala rituals which he had performed as a healer, and that two men developed a close friendship. Neihardt writes that Black Elk told him of his visions, including one in which he saw himself as a "sixth grandfather" - the spiritual representative of the earth and of mankind. Neihardt recounts that Black Elk invited him back for interviews. His intention was to talk to someone who had participated in the Ghost Dance.

Black Elk spoke in Lakota and Black Elk's son, Ben Black Elk, who was present during the talks, translated his father's words into English. Once there, Neihardt interviews the holy man and takes down his story, which included at age 13, being part of the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and later surviving the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre. Neihardt, an American poet and Nebraska poet-laureate, received the necessary permission from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to go to the Pine Ridge Reservation.to meet an Oglala Lakota medicine man named Black Elk.
