Albert Burnette Afraid Of Hawk was always asked to cook for give-aways, powwows, funerals and other events that drew many people. He had a skill in cooking that was much appreciated and he never refused any who asked for his help.
Cooking was but one of his skills. He worked as a ranch hand for area farmers, and for the Cheyenne River Standing Rock Police Department as a deputy with Clifford Demery, Robert Iron Wing and Kenny Traversie. He also worked for the TWEP Program for a number of years with Clifford Demery and his crew.
In May of this year 2007 he suffered a heart attack and was taken to St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, N.D. He had triple bypass surgery and returned to Cherry Creek to be with his daughter. Albert never improved after surgery. Labor Day morning he was taken to the Eagle Butte Indian Health Service Hospital and again returned home.
On Sept. 23 he again suffered a heart attack and was flown to Medcenter One, where he entered the Spirit World on Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2007, at 7 p.m. with his daughter and granddaughter Julie by his side. He was 65 years old.
Albert was born Sept. 6, 1942, in Oelrichs to Maurice and Olive (Premeaux) Afraid Of Hawk. He attended Holy Rosary Mission School and then came to Cheyenne River to stay with his aunt Ester Between Lodges Buck Elk Thunder and his uncle Daniel Afraid Of Hawk. He was a bull rider and a bronc rider.
In 1967 he met Beatrice Charging Eagle and they were married. On May 12, 1969, their daughter Debra Sue was born.
"Albert was special to everyone in different ways," his daughter Debra said.
