Stan was born on the Blood Reserve on May 10, 1942. In 1950, he attended St. Paul’s Residential School until he was 16 years old. While at St. Paul’s, he met his life long friend and brother Joe Spotted Bull. They remained close until his passing. When they were both 16 years old, they joined the Kainai Cadet Corp known then as the Royal Canadian Artillary. In 1958 they went with the cadets to Vernon, B.C. Being a sports enthusiast, he played hockey with the Kainai Chiefs and later in 1980 with the Old Timers. He was a fast ball pitcher, a boxer and participated in track and field, even with his childhood injury to the leg he still managed to come in first in the running categories. He was a bus driver with the Kainai Bus Coop. By trade, he was a carpenter with Mr. Weston and he farmed on and off the reserve. He joined the Horn Society four different times. He participated in Sundance ceremonies in Heart Butte, Montana for five years. His love for horses included training and racing quarter horses. He traveled to many racetracks sometimes as far away as California. He retired from the track in 2000 with his winning horse ‘Scotta Streak.’ During this time, he started his journey with his wife, Shelley and son Ryan on the Pow Wow trail supporting them in dancing and making many new friends and relatives. He enjoyed his participation as an elder with the children at Sayopi School. He started getting sick in Dec. 2006. He loved all of his family and always said, ‘Don’t fight, get along - we are all related.’ His wife Rosella White Feathers predeceased Stan in 1996 as well as his parents Fred Weasel Fat Sr. and Beatrice White Feathers, maternal grandparents Willy and Alice White Feathers, paternal grandparents Sam Packs His Tail from Eagle Butte, North Dakota and Bibi Davis, brothers; Frederick Weasel Fat, John Weasel Fat, Ralph Weasel Fat and Gerald Weasel Fat, sisters; Rosella Black Plume, Florence Weasel Fat and brothers-in-law Donald Black Plume and Roy Tallow.
