Original Toronto Star caption: A chief salutes: In full ceremonial dress, Chief David Knight salutes the closed casket of John Diefenbaker at a stop in his home riding of Prine Albert. The former prime minister was one of the first to defend and promote the rights of native people. We could look up to him because he respected us, said Knight's 15-year-old nephew, Norris Bear. He never turned away from us, said a woman from us, said a woman from a nearby reserve who wore a John Diefenbaker pin on her dress.
