Peyote Sunflower, 2000, 35mm camera
Charles Chibitty is the last surviving WWII Comanche Code Talker. A tribal elder provided him a pouch of peyote before leaving for the European theatre. He recalled it was the nibbles from the pouch that helped him survive with death all around. He took the high road to safety within the spirit world.
