He had seven strokes, and the eighth one killed him. |
He was a real gentle-natured person. He never brought any attention to himself, although his presence was real dominant. |
He was a soldier for this country his whole life. This is long overdue. |
I think he would have been so pleased, not just for himself but for the tribe and for his community. Bravery is a cultural value for us. Humility is a cultural value. So, in a way, it's kind of fitting because there's all these other soldiers who wanted him to have it. |
It's kind of hard to explain, but he looked so powerful, it was easy to exaggerate his size. |
Soldiers have told me he was a true warrior, had no fear of death, but had a love for life. They said the safest place to be was with him. |
