His Kainai, Blackfoot Confederacy and Dakota/Lakota People have lost a great son. Alberta’s First Nations have lost a great political leader and businessman. Fair Deal Panel members have lost a great role model. Chief Goodstriker’s natural ability to create a comfortable space for others to share their point of view was exceptional. He listened, but not just with his ears; all his senses were engaged. We extend our sincerest condolences to the family of Chief Goodstriker and especially to his wife, Tiffany Pompana, who joined us at many town halls across the province.
