It's something like all the other titles and achievements I have. Many think I boast. I'm just citing my experience... Which I do laugh at really when people react that way.
My mentor was the medic at wounded knee in 1973. Original American Indian Movement member. And according to Jim I was his greatest student and success.
Ironically it was a souix teaching a Shoshone. Which I was fine with. Not much teaching as I was raised with traditional ways and protocols.
But yeah alot of regrets over a single conversation...
