I met Donald on the West Bank in the 80’s he often hung out at the Viking Bar when the Maroons were performing and a very supportive friend. He was the first Native American I met with dreadlocks. Donald was a West Bank fixture with a revolutionary spirit beaming a wonderful smile and a vigilant determination for social change.
Govan, Donald D. Donald, a lifelong healer, returned to the spirit world July 22, 2019 at the age of 74. He was a prolific poet and indigenous preacher who pioneered an entire culture of radicals and inspired souls far and wide through his poems and persona. A cultivator of good times, Donald’s love for his guitar was only surpassed by his love for beautiful women. He was a father of two but a surrogate Godfather to countless of folk. His legend is too expansive for writings and he will be missed by all who encountered his spirit.
