[NA-CHICKAMAUGA] False Indian Organization Warning
Please feel free to distribute, please help us to combat the
exploitation of the American Indian People!
False Indian Organization Warning issued by Comanche Lodge.
http://www.comanchelodge.com/
For Immediate Release:
According to the authorities, an organization registered online as
the "Original Keetoowah Society" is operated by none other than
William Scott
Anderson of Cabool Missouri.
This individual is claiming to teach Cherokee Spirituality and
Religion over
the Internet.
The individual registered as operating this false organization has
also been
linked with numerous bogus Indian Tribes over the years that includes
the
following:
The Southern Cherokee Nation, Indian Creek Band of Chickamauga located
in
Deltona Florida, Western Cherokee Nation of Missouri, and last but not
least
the Amonsoquath Cherokees led by convicted felon Martin "Walking Bear"
Wilson.
All of the above mentioned groups are entirely false.
Anderson for several years was claiming on the Internet that the
Amonsoquath
Group he represented was a federally recognized Indian Tribe. Anderson
was
known to solicit donations online for several years under the false
auspices
of maintaining an Indian Reservation.
It is to be noted that the State of Missouri has no Indian
Reservations.
In 1996 Anderson was known to exploit the Lakota People by also
soliciting
donations on New Age Newsgroups while claiming to have received a
vision from
the Virgin Mary who Anderson claimed was the Lakota Peoples Sacred
White
Buffalo Calf Woman.
Anderson at that time claimed that the White Buffalo Calf Woman
instructed
him to go to Bosnia to stop World War III from taking place by teaching
Europeans the Lakota Religion, which would, according to him, spread
world
peace.
Anderson claimed this event would take place by gathering the people
of the
world in the very same way as was seen in the Hollywood Movie Close
Encounters of the Third Kind.
Anderson was caught committing this perverse exploitation by several
American
Indians. These individuals were informed that Anderson was begging for
money
on several New Age/Witchcraft discussion groups under the titles of
Pipe
Carrier, Native Peace Delegate, and also was representing himself as an
American Indian Prophet in the spirit of Wovoka the famous Paiute
Ghost Dance
teacher.
As a result of this intervention, Anderson was quickly exposed as a
fraud to
the American Indian Community through several popular Native
Newsgroups.
William Scott Anderson has now turned his greedy eyes towards the
Cherokee
Nation and is currently engaged in exploiting the names of respected
Cherokee
Indian Leaders as a way to solicit money online in yet another
monetary scam
being done in the name of the American Indian People.
Once again this Charlatan William Scott Anderson is exploiting yet
another
respected American Indian Nation, and he is currently engaged in
exploiting
the name of the Honorable Cherokee Chief Chadwick Smith.
In addition to these gross unethical abuses of honorable Indian
leaders,
William Scott Anderson also exploits the name of the Chief's own
ancestor the
respected Redbird Smith as yet another way for Anderson to beg for
money
online in the name of American Indian People.
Please be advised that none of the scams and the numerous false
organizations
operated by William Scott Anderson either now or in the past have been
authentic American Indian organizations and they have all been based
entirely
on falsehood and deceit.
William Scott Anderson is a wicked fraud and a very well known
exploiter of
the American Indian People and as such this depraved and twisted
individual
should be shunned by all.
Anderson is proud to boast associations with such dubious exploiters of
American Indian People such as Robert "Ghostwolf" Franzone, Harley
Swiftdeer,
Brooke Medicine Eagle, and many other well-known frauds who continually
exploit the American Indian People.
If you or anyone you know has been victim to the fraud perpetuated by
William
Scott Anderson, please report such incidents to the following
authorities:

Subject: Sundance Institute's commitment to supporting Native Cinema
From: George Lessard
The Sundance Institute's commitment to supporting Native Cinema is
woven throughout the 23-year history of the Institute along with its
support for the artistic vitality of American Cinema. Rooted in the
recognition of a rich tradition of story telling and artistic
expression by Native Peoples, the Institute established a Native
Program as a means of supporting the development of Native filmmakers
and the exhibition of their work. The Sundance Institute has
supported nearly 45 Native writers and directors over the past 23
years, and showcased nearly 100 films by Native filmmakers. The
Sundance Film Festival's Native Forum is a gathering of Indigenous
filmmakers from around the world, and offers opportunities for them
to share their expertise and knowledge with each other and the
independent film community through workshops, panels, networking
events, and special screenings.

Web Sites: Literacy in Indigenous Communities by L. David van Broekhuizen, Ph.D. (2000) Essay on the Zuni World View
Cushing also cited an
incidence where he showed a pole that accompanies a theodolite to an old Zuni
man and asked him what he thought the name of it was. In response the old man inquired as to the
use
of the
item. After briefly describing the
implementation of the device the old man provided a rather lengthy
sentence-word that Cushing translated as "heights of the world progressively
measuring stick". The next day Cushing
took the pole to the extreme corner of the pueblo and began "to flourish it
around" until a middle-aged man relented to curiosity and asked what it
was. Cushing then provided the Zuni
name he had learned the day before and the man promptly requested, "Can they
actually tell how far up and down journeying the world is?"

Wright, Allen. A Choctaw preacher, born in Mississippi about 1825; he
emigrated with most of the tribe to Indian Territory in 1832, his parents
dying soon afterward, leaving him and a sister. He had a strain of white
blood, probably one-eighth or one-sixteenth. In his youth he lived some time
in the family of the Rev. Cyrus Kingsbury, a Presbyterian missionary, and
began his education in a missionary day-school near Doaksville. While here
he was converted to the Christian faith, and soon after entered Spencer
Academy in the Choctaw Nation. By reason of his studious habits he was sent
by the Choctaw authorities to a school in Delaware, but afterward went to
Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., where he was graduated in 1852. He then
took a full course in Union Theological Seminary, New York City, being
graduated in 1855, and in the following year was ordained by the Indian
Presbytery. Returning to his people in Indian Territory, he preached to them
until his death in 1885. His people appreciating his ability and
uprightness, Mr. Wright was called to affairs of state, being elected
successively a member of the Choctaw House of Representatives and the
Senate, and afterward Treasurer. In 1866, after the Civil War, he was sent
to Washington as a delegate to negotiate a new treaty with the United
States, and during his absence was elected principal chief of the Choctaw
Nation, an office which he held until 1870. The Rev. John Edwards
characterized Wright as "a man of large intelligence, good mind, an
excellent preacher, and a very faithful laborer for the good of his people.
No other Choctaw that I ever met could give such a clear explanation of
difficult points in the grammar of the Choctaw." About 1873 he translated
the Chickasaw constitution, which was published by the Chickasaw Nation, and
in 1880 he published a "Chahta Leksikon." Just before his death he completed
the translation of the Psalms from Hebrew into Choctaw. Soon after his
graduation Mr. Wright married Miss Harriet Newell Mitchell, of Dayton, Ohio,
to whom were born several children, including Eliphalet Mott Wright, M. D.,
of Olney, Okla.; Rev. Frank Hall Wright, of Dallas, Texas; Mrs Mary Wallace
and Mrs Anna W. Ludlow, of Wapanucka, Okla.; Allen Wright, jr., a lawyer of
South McAlester, Okla.; Mrs Clara E. Richards, Miss Kathrine Wright, and
James B. Wright, C. E., all of Wapanucka, Okla.
Mushalatubee.
A Choctaw chief, born in the last half of the 18th century. He was present
at Washington D.C. in Dec. 1824, as one of the Choctaw delegation, where he
met and became accuainted with Lafayette on his last visit to the United
States. He led his warriors against the Creeks in connection with Jackson
in 1812. He signed as leading chief the treaty of Choctaw Trading House,
Miss., Oct 24, 1816; of Treaty Ground, Miss., Oct. 18, 1820; and the Dancing
Rabbit Creek, Miss., Sept. 27, 1830. He died of smallpox at the agency in
Arkansas, Sept 30, 1838. His name was later applied to a district in Indian
Territory.
Pitchlynn, Peter Perkins.
A prominent Choctaw chief of mixed blood, born at the Indian town of
Hushookwa, Noxubee County, Mississippi, Jan. 30, 1806; died in Washington,
D. C., Jan. 17, 1881. His father, John Pitchlynn, was a white man and an
interpreter commissioned by Gen. Washington; his mother, Sophia Folsom, a
Choctaw woman. While still a boy, seeing a partially educated member of his
tribe write a letter, he resolved that he too would become educated, and
although the nearest school was in Tennessee, 200 m. from his father's
cabin, he managed to attend it for a season. Returning home at the close of
the first quarter, he found his people negotiating a treaty with the general
Government. As he considered the terms of this treaty a fraud upon his
tribe, he refused to shake hands with Gen. Jackson, who had the matter in
charge in behalf of the Washington authorities. Subsequently he entered an
academy at Columbia, Tenn., and finally was graduated at the University of
Nashville. Although he never changed his opinion regarding the treaty, he
became a strong friend of Jackson, who was a trustee of the latter
institution. On returning to his home in Mississippi, Pitchlynn became a
farmer, built a cabin, and married Miss Rhoda Folsom, a Choctaw, the
ceremony being performed by a Christian minister. By his example and
influence polygamy was abandoned by his people. He was selected by the
Choctaw council in 1824 to enforce the restriction of the sale of spirituous
liquors according to the treaty of Doaks Stand, Miss., Oct. 18, 1820, and in
one year the traffic had ceased. As a reward for his services he was made a
captain and elected a member of the National Council, when the United States
Government determined to remove the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Creeks w.. of
the Mississippi. His first proposition in that body was to establish a
school, and, that the students might become familiar with the manners and
customs of white people, it was located near Georgetown, Ky., rather than
within the limits of the Choctaw country. Here it flourished for many years,
supported by the funds of the nation. Pitchlynn was appointed one of the
delegation sent to Indian Territory in 1828 to select the lands for their
future homes and to make peace with the Osage, his tact and courage making
his mission entirely successful. He later emigrated to the new reservation
with his people and built a cabin on Arkansas river Pitchlynn was an admirer
of Henry Clay, whom he met for the first time in 1840. He was ascending the
Ohio in a steamboat when Mr. Clay came on board at Maysville. The Indian
went into the cabin and found two farmers earnestly engaged in talking about
their crops. After listening to them with great delight for more than an
hour, he turned to his traveling companion, to whom he said: "If that old
farmer with an ugly face had only been educated for the law, he would have
made one of the greatest men in this country." He soon learned that the "old
farmer" was Henry Clay. Charles Dickens, who met Pitchlynn on a steamboat on
the Ohio river in 1842, gives an account of the interview in his American
Notes, and calls him a chief; but he was not elected principal chief until
1860. In this capacity he went to Washington to protect the interests of his
tribesmen, especially to prosecute their claims against the Government. At
the breaking out of the Civil War Pitchlynn returned to Indian Territory,
and although anxious that his people should remain neutral, found it
impossible to induce them to maintain this position; indeed three of his
sons espoused the Confederate cause. He himself remained a Union man to the
end of the war, notwithstanding the fact that the Confederates raided his
plantation of 600 acres and captured all his cattle, while the emancipation
proclamation freed his 100 slaves. He was a natural orator, as his address
to the President at the White House in 1855, his speeches before the
congressional committees in 1868, and one delivered before a delegation of
Quakers at Washington in 1869, abundantly prove. In 1865 he returned to
Washington, where he remained as the agent of his people until his death,
devoting attention chiefly to pressing the Choctaw claim for lands sold to
the United States in 1830. In addition to the treaty of 1820, above referred
to, he signed the treaty of Dancing Rabbit, Miss., Sept. 27, 1830, and the
treaty of Washington, June 20, 1855, he also witnessed, as principal chief,
that of Washington, Apr. 28, 1866. Pitchlynn's first wife having died, he
married, at Washington, Mrs. Caroline Lombardy, a daughter of Godfrey
Eckloff, who with two sons and one daughter survive him, the children by the
first marriage having died during their father's lifetime. Pitchlynn became
a member of the Lutheran Memorial Church at Washington, and was a regular
attendant until his last illness. He was a prominent member of the Masonic
order, and on his death the funeral services were conducted in its behalf by
Gen. Albert Pike. A monument was erected over his grave in Congressional
Cemetery by the Choctaw Nation. In 1842 Pitchlynn was described by Dickens
as a handsome man, with black hair, aquiline nose, broad cheek-bones,
sunburnt complexion, and bright, keen, dark, and piercing eyes. He was
fairly well read, and in both speaking and writing used good English. He was
held in high esteem both by the members of his tribe and by all his
Washington acquaintances. See also Lanman, Recollections of Curious
Characters, 1881.
