"Reality is bigger than you are. Don’t make it wrong."
— Jim Selman

“We follow the teachings of the Elders and our ancestors. In our Way, the Elders give spiritual direction to the people. The wisdom of thousands of years flows through their lips. In our Way, when we grow old we become Elders. In White Man’s way, when you grow old you just grow old.”
—Mathew King
Lakota Wisdom Keeper
