Description
"A few weeks ago I attended a funeral at the Upper Cayuga Longhouse at Frog Pond on the Reserve. The funeral was for an old friend, Laval Staats, a brother of our former chief counsellor, Wellington Staats. I had known Laval since he was a boy in my first class at Six Nations School No. 3. He worked at the Little Buffalo store and even though he was now in his forties, he always called me sir. He was friendly and easy going."
