I just read that Howard passed away last year. I met Howard in the summer of 2002 as I was visiting from France and travelling across Canada. I was staying with Lawrence Mullis in Duck Lake, and inquiring about First Nations. I’m French and I knew nothing about them. I was also mourning the sudden death of my sister in law. Lawrence asked Howard if I could join a sweat lodge ceremony. It was a very intense experience. Howard opened his home to me, and allowed me in that sacred circle in the sweat lodge. He and his family, as well as everybody present that evening touched me with their generosity. I Although I was only a visitor passing by I was treated like family. I went back to France and never saw him again. He and his family are in my thoughts. Rose
