Dear Friends, It is with a heavy heart that we report the loss of
our Vice-chairman, Philip D. Hunter. We lost Phil in an early Sunday
morning traffic accident. Phil was a long time Councilman, past
Chairman, Vice-Chairman, as well as a Council representative on many
committees. Phil was an active member of the AMVETS. he was very proud
of his service as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division.
The Tule River Tribal Council and it's staff will have limited
services over the next week while we grieve and try to come to terms
with this loss of our friend, family member, spiritual leader, and
Councilman.
We do not yet have a date for services , as soon as we know; the
information will be made available. We know Phil had many, many friends
across the state and nation that would like to give their final respects
to a Native American leader who had an impact on Indian Country.
You may call any of our Tribal Council members for further information
at (559) 781-4271.
May the Spirit always walk with you and protect you . We know Philip
was the type of man that will continue his service with the Creator.
Sincerely,
Neil Peyron
Neil Peyron, Chairman
Tule River Tribal Council
