Matthew King - "Noble Red Man" - Lakota Wisdom Keeper speaks on Native Belief & Philosophy, 1973

Grandson of both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, the late Matthew King was a respected elder and an eloquent spokesman for the Lakota nation who offered steadfast commitment to his people and to the land that was his home.
“God made everything so simple. Our lives are very simple. We do what we please. The only law we obey is the natural law, God’s law. We abide only by that. We don’t need your church. We have the Black Hills for our church. And we don’t need your Bible. We have the wind and the rain and the stars for our Bible. The world is an open Bible for us. We Indians have studied it for millions and millions of years. We’ve learned that God rules the universe and that everything God made is living. Even the rocks are alive. When we use them in our sweat ceremony we talk to them and they talk back to us.” - Matthew King
