Okawita Paha (Black Elk Peak), the gathering place, and the highest elevation between the Rocky Mountains in the western United States and the Pyrenees Mountains in France (8K KMS East). The course of Lakota Elder - Black Elk’s life was set by a vision of this peak he had seen while comatose at the age of nine, and the circle of his life was completed when he later climbed it as an elder. There, at the highest point, he saw the Hoop of the entire World beneath where he stood and he received a vision, that the Great Spirit would gather together all the nations of the earth and lead them on the good red road to the day of great peace.
