A million thanks for this wonderful tribute to two great men.....Chief Garry and Robert Lee Pryor. Economical in its terrific storytelling and simple but moving visuals, this quartet of Pryor's work is a precious find and bears witness to Pryor's devotion to his native city and the education of its young citizens. A significant contribution to short documentaries of the 1960's and a superb document of a true American hero. Jake Jacobson Indiewire.com

His name was lost for a long time but Chief Spokane Garry's native name was Slough-Keetcha. I am proud to say he is my great (x5) grandfather.
Hi Melissa, Thank you for sharing his name with us. Lee O'Connor
