I admit that I have never heard of this incredible man. Unfortunately I am not of the Native American people although I wish I was. I admire the Native American people. I know of much of the suffering my ancestors ( first here on my fathers side; 1750) and those before him brought upon the people. It may not sound like much ..... I am so very sorry.

Albert White Hat will forever live through all he has done in his short time here. I pray he is in a better place knowing others will keep his memory alive and continue teaching with pride.

Thank you for posting this. I intend on learning more about him.
