"His words and teachings not only impacted the Native population, but people from all walks of life," added the release. "He inspired thousands with his teachings about living in harmony, not only with each other, but also with nature."
Meuers worked in public relations for Red Lake Nation for more than 20 years, and during this time he spearheaded the Ojibwe language project in Bemidji.
