Early in Delberts life he had traveled around on the pow wow trail with His grandfather Buckley pomani and his whole household that made a statement for people in Fort Thompson sd, they was known by every one on the pow wow trail. Delbert was culturally gifted by dancing all categories, singing with Black lodge and all drums that he could fit a chair in also breaking horses and boxing. Delbert was very privlidged to travel as a young boy, known for his Jokes, laughter, breaking the silence and being an amazing story teller, when he would get started telling any story you can picture everything that he had witnessed with his beautiful and humorous wording. Along his path he attended Crow Creek elementary, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, returning home to finish his high school career at Crow Creek schools. He attended Palomar college courses in California when he wasn't traveling.
Delbert accomplished a lot in his 64 spins around the sun, including: his latest project was architectural plans for the worlds largest Tipi, working ceremonies world wide, making CD's through Canyon records, the Longest walk, boarding school coalition. He also was known for being in movies, including 3 ninjas knucle up, dances with wolves, and was working currently with Kevin Kosner, had known Gram green, Wes studi, Janelle Rameres personally. Delbert got to perform with music video black and white by Micheal Jackson, had a part in winning a Grammy, was at standing rock sd during the protest, he was member of AIM, also chief society, founder of indigo bridge, hawiian royalty, mmiw gatherings and protests in many states, and anything he was called to help with at any given time. We believe he visited every state in th us of a, and the family answered unknown numbers he would call from out of country a times. Delbert was known by somebody at the most random places.
Chief Black fox was given his name and many titles for the way he lived his life, always taking a new path everyday for him was and adventure. We will miss his story telling magic, and his big loud laugh that would draw attention and meeting new people. Our family will miss him checking in on us, telling us where he would be and randomly stopping with new friends that became family.
Delbert was such a beautiful spirit he had a good connection to all children all over the world, including his own children to the best of his abilities/ being a traveler, phone calls and his presence was always joyous and memorable. If he could sing happy birthday, or have a song for everyone he knew the amount of songs would be to many to ever count. He loved who he got to be and inspired people to come around the fire place and pray in the best way he knew how. Being a native American church road man was accepting and inviting to all. Want to make mention of his Nephew Jobe Cottingham for supporting him in the last decade and being a huge help to him when he called for him.
Delberts children include: Michael, Christopher SR, Robert, MC, Delmarie, Sophia and others that we may have overlooked. He always included all his children, grandchildren nephews and nieces & all the innocent children in all his prayers and songs.
