A memorial gathering was held August 6 at Powell House in Old Chatham, NY.
Fred Feucht writes:
In the early '90s, Joe was hired by the New York Martin Luther King Jr. Institute in Albany to develop training manuals and to help to resolve the Mohawk Wars. At the time, the Traditionalists were fighting with the other tribal leaders who supported gambling interests. This resulted in firefights where the supporters of the gambling interests were using automatic weapons and using bulldozers as tanks. Joe was able to convince the traditionalists to respond nonviolently.
Joe was a person who believed in Transforming Power and put it to work in his life.
