served. He is remembered
by those who worked with
him, including who at times
disagreed, as kind and cour-

years working in the woods.
“Chief Alfred will be missed
for all his good work he has
done for the tribes over the
years,” Robert Brunoe, Sec-
retary-Treasurer, said in a
letter to all the tribal mem-
bership. “He was a hard
worker in the woods logging
with his company and in
