I started providing tours to visitors at the age of 14 while working Summer Youth jobs for the Three Chiefs Cultural Center and Gift Shop on the reservation. I am also a descendant of our last Kootenai Chief, Baptiste Mathias (my great-grandfather). In our culture, it is noble to be a descendant of chieftainship. In his early twenties, Louis started cleaning up reservation lands to protect and improve the environment and became a wildland firefighter. Louis’s father, Marvin Camel, was the 1st WBC cruiserweight champion of the world and 1st IBF cruiserweight champion of the world. He is what we refer to as a warrior who worked very hard for his title, not only one time as a world champion but also a second time as a two-time world champion.
