[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?"

Indian band seeks to regain its birthright
Wintu Indians Coyote and Antelope - Thompson
A long time ago, besides the Badger and family, who lived at Zuxt, Coyote was the only inhabitant of the Nicola country. He lived in an under ground house at Tezze'la; and the place is known as the Coyote's under ground house at the present day. He had two wives. - the Alder woman and the Cottonwood woman, - who were created by the Qwo'qtqwal. From them he had four sons and four daughters. Afterwards the antelope came to the Nicola country and lived with Coyote. He, also, had four sons and four daughters. Before that, he had lived in the south. Now, at this time there lived a number of people at Lytton, who possessed a copper ball of which they were very proud. They boasted much of this wonderful ball, which they often used in ball games, and it became noted far and wide. Coyote and Antelope made up their minds to get possession of the famous ball, and despatched their eight sons to take it from the Lytton people.
From here on this story is the same as "Coyote Legend." No.5, p. 32, in the "Traditions of the Thompson River Indians," from line to the end, with the following single addition:- among those who pursued the antelopes and Coyotes were the Hummingbirds, who were swifter of foot than any others of the Lytton people. They could have easily overtaken the antelopes, and their friends depended on their getting the ball; but they fooled away their time by playing and running around among the flowers, instead of seriously chasing the antelopes. When they returned to Lytton without the ball, the people were angry, and transformed them to the hummingbirds we see at the present day.
After a long residence with Coyote, Antelope at last moved over to Montana, where he took up his abode, and his descendants became numerous in that country. Therefore antelopes are plentiful there at the present day, but are not found in the Thompson country. The children of Antelope and Coyote intermarried, and their descendants had different colors of skin and hair. Those who had whitish and yellowish skins are said to take after the Cottonwood mother, and those who had reddish and brownish skins, after the Alder mother. Therefore we find these colors of skin among Indians at the present day. As Coyote and his two wives each had different colored hair, therefore people now have light and dark colored hair of different shades. It is said some of the Indian inhabitants of Nicola are descendants of Coyote.
