    I felt a lump in my throat when he said "I assure them that they are not forgotten." Truly humbling. It will be a sad day on Earth when the last hero from this horrible time passes away.

    Beautiful spirituality that this First Nations Warrior brings by comforting the dead souls of soldiers. I am si glad that the Christians did not succeed in wiping out their religion as they tried.
