He was always willing to help in any way he could and always so protective over his family. He attended Enemy Swim Day School Kindergarten through 8th Grade; he then went to Chemawa Indian School for high school.

He grew up on the powwow trail with family as well, going on road trips with his mom and siblings. Elias loved singing as much as he could, sharing his voice with everyone. He loved to sing and had the most powerful and unique voice we knew, I could always hear his voice apart from everyone else's. He attended powwows and sang with many different groups, which is how he met a lot of his powwow family, which we know he was very grateful for. He participated in Sundance, dancing, singing, and being the fire keeper. His favorite sports team was the Kansas Chiefs. He lived on this reservation for his whole life.
