[Brini · Rating 3 out of 5]

Das Buch wurde aus alten Aufnahmen und Notizen angefertigt und vielleicht fehlt es deswegen die nötige Tiefe. Oberflächlich versteht man die Sichtweise von Noble Red Man, auch wenn es (ungewollt) doch sehr Anklagend und Angriffslustig erscheint. Man erfährt eigentlich jedoch nichts über die Lakota.

"Wenn ich ihr Herz berühren kann, weiß ich, daß die Welt besser wird."

Lediglich die Erinnerungen von Freunden, Familie und Kollegen zum Ende des Buches vermitteln (ansatzweise) die Güte von Noble Red Man.

Mathew, Noble Red Man, is a great shadow of the Great Spirit, showing us all how to live life. Why White folk have to be about ‘me’ and not about ‘for all’. To learn the lessons of life from the native Indians of this land is the ONLY way to continue life here on Earth. We don’t own the land! they do! And always have. Respect for our land is really the message and does Mathew, Red Noble Man tell us how in this book formed by Harvey Arden, how to spend our time living. Thank you. The Great Spirit lives everywhere and we need to respect everything our Father, God and our Mother, Earth, tell us. The wind is God’s breath keeping us calm, is my take away. He loves us so much He tends to our every need if we can only take the time to listen and experience His wonders! Amen.

to be reminded of how grateful I am to have been raised with sioux religious/spiritual values was actually such a gift. this was so short and sweet and excellent. loved: who I am, respect, goodness, God made everything so simple, death song, wickedness, and why I do what I do
