Sorry you have lost your hero.72 doesn't seem that old. I remember when I was a child thinking 40 was sooo old.

I'm sorry you lost your hero.

Chasing Hawk 10-22-2012 02:59 PM

When it comes your time to die,
be not like those whose hearts are filled
with the fear of death,
so that when their time comes they weep
and pray for a little more time
to live their lives over again in a different way.

Sing your death song and
die like a hero going home.

Not just a loss to his Indian Nation, but also to movies. I have a number of DVDs in which he appears and thus can enjoy for time to come. Vale Russell Means.

A great loss for the Indian Nation and for those who really care.

I remember him as being one of the Great "Changers" of Modern American History. Many mourn his passing.

RIP and prayers to his family... He was definitely the advocate of the Indian people...

Chasing Hawk 10-24-2012 09:49 AM

Thank you Ladies.

I can't be sad, he is going home. His journey will take him to our ancestors.

Nell Dwyer 10-24-2012 12:24 PM

He was a Great Indian, and a true friend of all, I remember him well-May the Great Spirit taking him up to the Happy Hunting grounds where all shall some day-RIP my fellow brother

He was truly brave, truly courageous, a credit to his people and to all who feel the need to speak out and tell the truth. And, like all bigger than life persons, he was a mix of energy that invited some to criticize. But they didn't, wouldn't, couldn't become the man he was.

DeAnne-Mn. 10-24-2012 03:47 PM

Very sorry for your loss, 72 seems so young to me now.

Monroe 10-24-2012 06:43 PM

Such a man of principles and talent is hard to find. I hope his family and friends are at peace.

FabricHeaven 10-24-2012 07:32 PM

My Hero went on his journey
 
The news of his passing was also reported in Texas. He lived a very meaningful life and I am sorry for your loss.

ctipton 10-25-2012 05:43 AM

So sorry for your loss.

I'll have to remember to tell DH about this. This man played in Last of the Mohicans and I bet I've watched it a 100 times. My husband loves it.
