Matthew King – "Noble Red Man" – Lakota Wisdom Keeper speaks about indigenous belief and philosophy, 1973

The grandson of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, the late Matthew King was a respected elder and eloquent spokesperson for the Lakota Nation who had an unwavering 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 want. The only law we obey is natural law, the law of God. We only respect 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, the rain and the stars for our Bible. The world is an open Bible for us. We Indians have been studying it for millions and millions of years. We learned that God governs the universe and that everything He created is alive. 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
