    I want to send my sympathies to the Draper Family & The Pow Wow Family. May you Journey well little brother! RIP Spike! <3 & missed by all who knew you. I am a Northern Traditional Dancer. I have seen many Fancy Feather Dancers in my time. Spike is the Championship Dancer of them all! I watched him every time I was out in the Dance Circle. I will miss seeing him perform his best in the Pow Wow Dance Circle. I know we will all feel him dancing beside us next time we go to GON or any Pow Wow/Wacipi. Dance hard & dance good Spike along the Milky Way!! We shall see you again in the next life little Brother!! <3
