A proud member of the Colville Confederated Tribes and Catholic Church, Luther graduated from Lake Roosevelt High School in 1997. To say that Luther “loved horses and rodeo” would be an understatement. He participated in the “High School National Finals Rodeo” and the “Indian National Finals Rodeo” as well as numerous rodeos throughout the western United States, competing in Bull Riding, Bareback and Saddle Bronc among other events. When not on horseback, Luther worked construction, drove truck and loved spending time with his family.
