Meet the Team
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our son, brother, friend, and teammate, Chase Goulet-Pantherbone (Yellow Spotted Turtle Man). Born and raised in Moh’kinstsis (Calgary), Chase was of Cree and Blackfoot ancestry and carried his heritage with pride and honour. Chase’s greatest joy in life was being a father to his three beautiful children, who were the center of his world. Watching them grow and learn was his favourite thing in life, and he dreamed of passing his gifts and teachings on to them.
Chase carried many special gifts and his spirit touched all who knew him. A talented singer, dancer, and hunter, Chase shared these gifts both in his life and in his work as a Cultural Facilitator with Mahegun Tails Inc., where he could often be found drum-making, hide-scraping, raising tipis, and teaching these cultural skills. He carried his cultural teachings with love and generosity.
In loving memory of Chase Goulet-Pantherbone
