Tribute To Floyd Westerman

[muslima671]

God, I miss this man so much and I've never heard of him until now...Somehow, I feel so deprived knowing he is not amongst us anymore...hi words of wisdom have touched my heart so deeply, and so fully...the earth seems to be losing the wisest amongst us, may his words carry on to penetrate and effect all hearts who are destined to hear him...A great tribute!

[MrTkeeper69]

RIP,Granfrather

[fulviotesta]

fantastic music video beautiful a greeting from Trieste, Italy Fulvio hello

[MrSuperstar567]

I love this man, I look at this guys videos and I cry because of all the injustice the Indigenous Americans suffered. I am not going to deny that some tribes brought demise among their own people, but I would like to extend my support to present day Native Americans, for there barely any left.....

This is on the set of 'Grey Owl' (1999), with Irish actor Pierce Brosnan playing an Englishman who came to Canada (northern Ontario) and so admired 'Indians' that he learned enough to pass.

[RazrBlayde]

He was a great man. We seriously need to live like he did, with the same beliefs.

[estrellanortena14]

RIP Grandfather, Much Love N respect, you have always inspired me and made me feel proud.

[SolvingLife]

Osiyo nigada, this video was very moving and inspiring, it is sad that he left. I did not know him but I wish I did. I send love from a cherokee

[puchuks]

If we all would thought the way he did - world would be much better place to live and people wouldn't sort others for their skin color. iIndian people are with so tender hurts that it costs them so much... 

[Manitonquat2]

It is very moving to find all these tribute videos to my late dear friend Floyd.  I have missed the good times we have had on the road together, listening to his songs and sharing our stories. And I am glad that some others who may never have heard him have this chance to hear the breadth of his wisdom and the greatness of his heart.

[TheArsenalguru]

a great man, a real man, RIP, i know your body has died but your spirit is among us all now. Love respectn and honour from Ireland. thank you for your vocal support and love to Ireland.

[napalmblackcloud]

I only know of this man through his movies. His spirit seemed to emanate great peace and serenity. I always wondered what he was like in real life. Thank you for your comments here; it helps me understand what kind of man he is. I hope we meet when my time here has come to pass and I hope I can greet him with "Iyuskinyan wancinyankelo, chikala!"

[siouxa1]

such a great man,a great nation,R.I.P.LOVE  FOR EVER.

a great video for a great man Welalin jinm jet video

[amloft]

#2 It was a moving experience and one that I will carry for a life time. Thanks for the video. Too bad the actual "Grey Owl" movie sucked . I was hoping for something good but was disappointed. Onen ki wahi.

[amloft]

#1 Great video! Far better that my comedy I pieced together with my videos shot on the same set. I was in that show too. I remember Westerman well. I thanked him for all the great music he produced in the 70's. He was like our Dylan. The first time I actually met him was in Kahnawake in the late 80's while he was touring with the FREE Mandella-Leonard Pelltier tour. He sang for about 20 souls at the United Church Hall and afterwards ran a sweat at my home.

[teenwriter89]

Go to the hunting grounds in peace Red Crow. You will be missed.

[shervieux]

I just came across this video and I did not realize that He had passed away. the Native American/American Indians are a beautiful people. My step brother is part native american. I think he is Manicknak (not sure exactly, I have not seen him in about 10 years). I used to go to PowWow's all the time. I also had a friend who is native american and he went back to live on a reservation in Michigan. He was of the Little River tribe. I still have the Prayer Feather.

[bluefeathers29]

In honor of this Lakota,and my grandmother's people. I post this onto my favorites.

I ask Creator that there would be others to follow on this Lakota's footsteps. PROUD AND STRONG with heart and grace.

[bonnyfrombrum]

Very moving I think both the American, and Canadian indians are wonderful people.

My family were personal friends of the George family ie Chief Dan George, that is. My parents met him many years ago on a visit to Vancouver BC. His son Len attended my father's funeral in Surrey BC 1983,and sang an indian song for my dad, in was a great honour.

[7wolfs]

a fine tribute to a great man you can go to your happy hunting grounds in peace

[Igmula74]

RED CROW you will always have a place in my heart.

A Beautiful tribute to a great man, Red Crow. He will also be missed by many outside the Indian Nation. Red Crow formed a bond with all peoples who struggled against injustice, no matter the color of their skin. Greetings from Ireland to all my Brothers and Sisters everywhere who are involved in that struggle. RIP Red Crow.
