On behalf of the faculty, students and staff of the UCLA American Indian
Studies Center, I extend to the family of Floyd Westerman our condolences and
sympathy on the sad occasion of his passing on. We are grateful to Floyd
for his artistry, his music, his performances in movies and television, and we
honor him in our thoughts for his having been such a wonderful role model for so
many young Native Americans. Every year in May, there Floyd would be,
front and center at the UCLA student powwow, honoring our culture, our
traditions, and our sense of pride and community. In his life
and in his artistic career, Floyd Westerman earned honor, respect,
understanding and support from many, many non-Indian people around
the world for Native people and their quest for equality, self-determination and
sovereignty.
Aho, thank you, to a unique and very special human being. We will carry our memories of Floyd and our gratitude for all his gifts to us in our hearts.
