5 Quotes by Russell Hawkins

He was a soldier for this country his whole life. This is long overdue.

He was a real gentle-natured person. He never brought any attention to himself, although his presence was real dominant.

He had seven strokes, and the eighth one killed him.

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.

It's kind of hard to explain, but he looked so powerful, it was easy to exaggerate his size.
