Someoone posted at http://www.powwowtime.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=1039.html that both teens were grassdancers. When the time is appropriate, I'm sure many of us would like to know who the other was. According to another news article, the ages of all six young men ranged from 17 to early 20's.

The other teenager was 17 year old Roy Espiritu, and I believe the other grassdancer they were talking about was someone else.

Cameron was a really great dancer... he was a real nice kid. There was this time at Muckleshoot when we were talking to him.. and he COULD NOT stop dancing!!! It's still hard to believe... prayers for both families!!!

Cameron

Cameron stayed with my son and I last GON he had taken the bus just to be there. He stayed and worked to get enough money to get home. We will cherish our memories.We heard the same about the special at Muckelshoot pow-wow. He will be missed. RIP

Wow, how tragic....

It's hard to lose a dancer like that, but especially one so young. Makes you stop and think about all the people you know out there....makes me think of some of the people I haven't seen in awhile. Prayers to the family and friends, especially the survivors of the accident, of both victims.....
