Louie is a Ruling Elder at Bdecan Presbyterian Church, a carpentry instructor at Cankdeska Cikana Community College on the Spirit Lake Reservation , has written many books on the Native American history. Besides all of this, Louie has put in countless hours of work building the church manse, repairing things at Bdecan Presbyterian Church, and working at the Bdecan Food Pantry.
