Henry Morris

Jerry Cassesi

I think he would have been so pleased, not just for himself but for the tribe and for his community. Bravery is a cultural value for us. Humility is a cultural value. So, in a way, it's kind of fitting because there's all these other soldiers who wanted him to have it.

If there was another way to make the money ... whatever it takes to allow this tribe or any tribe not to be under the gun looking for federal government funds - most tribes and tribal chairmen would do that.
