Not sure what to say?

Hearts were breaking wide open the night that you passed into the spiritual real John Trudell I have great respect for you as a human being. You were great American Indian movement activist, your poetry spoke volumes. You left the imprint and all the hearts that you touched with your presence. Who's going to stand for us now. Who's going to be your voice. We have to be our own voice because all the aim leaders are gone except Leonard Peltier. You are a man of vision of courage but you were...

You never knew me. But every time I hear your words and listen to what you are saying and who you are I know that humanity as a whole is at a loss with your passing: but your life is celebrated, for you have inspired more people to be free than any authority can shackle. You have helped me to always remember peace in the love of Mother Earth.

Your words and spirit will live forever in everyone you touched. Miss you.

There will never be another John Trudell. He was a gift.

Remembering John. What an inspiration he was and continues to be.

Still miss you GG. Love Always, Me

You are remembered.

It has taken me two years to be able to express anything other than sadness at John''s passing. I lost Caden & John the same year, it broke my heart. During Caden''s illness there were many nights he listened and encouraged me to be strong for my family. He didn't have to do that, but he did. It helped to calm my breaking heart and enabled me to keep going instead of lose my mind. Thank you John. I miss you

I know you live on doing your great work in the spirit world now. So much love for you and the legacy you left us here on this plane. You taught me so much and changed my life for the better. Thank you. Toksha Ake
