Here we go again. I absolutely hate people who try to "be" Native just for profit of some kind.

ALL MY NATIVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY,

I JUST WANTED TO BRING THIS FRAUD TO YOUR ATTENTION SO THAT YOU WOULD BE AWARE OF HER AND HER SO CALLED "PRAYERFORMANCES" IF YOU WERE NOT ALREADY AWARE. HER NAME IS RACHEL HOLWARTH BUT SHE IS USING THE "NATIVE NAME" OF WHITE EAGLE WOMAN. SHE IS TRAVELING THE UNITED STATES CHARGING FOR SO CALLED NATIVE TEACHINGS AND CEREMONIES USING A 7 FOOT DRUM SHE HAS NAMED THE GRANDMOTHER DRUM. SHE IS GOING TO OKLAHOMA, TEXAS, ALASKA, OHIO, MICHIGAN, WASHINGTON D.C., AND I BELIEVE TO SOUTH DAKOTA.

PEOPLE HAVE MANAGED TO GET HER PERFORMANCES CANCELLED IN OHIO AND MICHIGAN AND NOW IT FALLS TO OTHERS AS WELL AS OURSELVES TO GET HER CANCELLED NATIONWIDE.

IT IS A DISGRACE HOW SHE HAS MANAGED TO TRICK PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING WHAT SHE IS DOING IS TRADITIONAL NATIVE CEREMONIES WHEN IT IS OBVIOUS SHE IS ONLY A PERFORMER, ACTOR, FRAUD, AND SCAM ARTIST.

BELOW IS WHERE TO FIND MORE INFORMATION ON HER AND HER SCHEDULE AS WELL AS HER FEES, CEREMONIES, AND THOSE WHO ARE PROTESTING HER GROSS AND BLATANT DISRESPECT FOR OUR WAY OF LIFE.

Someone started an anti-Whirling Rainbow myspace page. Check this out and if you like, share it with others so this woman is stopped from disrespecting Native American culture, traditions and ceremonies.

If you haven't looked at her website yet, you won't believe it--she is the worst kind of "new ager". www.whirlingrainbow.com . It's incredible that she is an "educational 501c3 organization". AIIA managed to get her events cancelled in Ohio and Michigan.


Sorry for the caps. He's a traditional spiritual leader and doesn't use a computer often and always types in all caps. His daughter typed the last part for him *L*.

The Tribal Councils here in Montana have several resolutions against her and her kind of exploitation. Hopefully getting the word out about this kind of exploitation will dwindle her "bottom line" so she stops her activities.

Sounds like it could be an interesting show. When does it come to PA?

That is so disgusting. Frauds and fakes abound, don't they? Geez. I hope this woman gets stopped for good. I'll be watching for her here in NC.
Thanks for the alert.
Purrs,

She's a Wiccan?! Oh for Heaven's sake. I will be putting the word out on this broad. I have friends all over the country and I will pass this along either by phone or emails. My friends detest frauds like this, they're good, honest people.
Thanks, Kyi.

She's being investigated for fraud by the IRS.

Apparently the Wiccan community knows of her claims and are just as angry about her fraudery as the Native community.

Thanks Pookie, any and all help is appreciated.

Purrs,
Pookie

Here is a space where there are a lot of people doing various things to get the word out and get her "events" canceled. If the Wiccan community would join in and assist in this effort, that would be a great help. I'm certain they have been helping and will continue, but the more voices speaking out against this blatant theft of culture, the better.

I've called her organization and emailed them today and will do the same tomorrow. I have the resolution from one of the Tribes here in montana and sent it out to all the Tribal Leaders on my Tribal Leaders Diabetes listserv, the biocolonialism listservs and the National Congress of American Indians. Tomorrow I'll send it out to my international Indigenous contacts.

Her contact information is on their site.

Those are real eagle feathers she's using. That's illegal. I've shot off emails to the Beaureau of Indian Affairs, Interior and Fish and Park Services

I tried to be bative so I could get some money from the Tunica-Biloxi Casino, but it didn't fly.

Well there's your problem right there! You probably should at least know how to spell Native.

She'd probably like you too, seems like just your kind of folk.

Subject: Statement from Bernard Red Cherries on Fraud REPOST plz!!!!!
Body: Press Release from Bernard Red Cherries
Chief of the Northern Cheyenne Elk Society
6th Generation Spiritual Leader and Sundance/Arrow Priest


We must come together and seek justice as a Native people to ensure that these Sacred life ways are preserved in their entirety for our future generations and those yet unborn. This woman’s actions are contrary to the teachings of all tribal ways. Most tribes caution their women folk from the drum. I encourage the State of Michigan to listen to what we as Native Medicine People have to say. This abuse must be stopped.

Your video says that she is HALF JEWISH. So this is 50% of the answer right there!
There is a Pagan/witch site - http://www.witchvox.com - where you can read editorials posted by a Jewish woman who chairs some "Pagan" group....

Maybe you should learn to use proper comma usage? Have a nice day.
