I’ve recently joined a Facebook group. The women in this group support each other’s stories. Some of their stories I’ve heard before. As they’ve been victims of Nathan. I just wanted to post to say to anyone who reads this blog that your not alone.
My analogy of this plastic medicine man is now redefining him as a glorified pimp. Here’s a story. Decades ago I went with a few of my cousins to a downtown skid row bar during New Year’s Eve. We accidentally got invited into a ‘pimp & their stable’ gala. You see, we were surprised they were closing early & one of cousin’s friends knew what was going on & knew some pimps.
The reason I’m mentioning this is that when I hear women describe seeing Nathan with his seven young wives. I think about those pumps I saw that night. Each was dressed to impress & each of the girls in their stables wore expensive jewelry & furs. Everyone was showing off their goods.
Luring & making their lifestyle seem attractive. I see this Nathan & his stable doing the same thing at Pow Wows. The only difference is all his victims are present. Throughout my time listening to how influential he’s been in breaking up families by silencing his followers.
Many of his rape victims are shunned by their families if their family supports him. Some women were so going. I’ve read where some had associated themselves with his cult for over twenty years & some ten years.
Girls whom he’s lured in by confession he’s undying devotion to them. It may sound silly; however, he did swear his undying devotion to me for fund raising & paying him $5,000. At the time, I thought all he needed to do was say ‘thank you!’ I didn’t realize I’d had accidentally open a Pandora’s box. He managed to manipulate almost or close to $100,000 from my community.
There’s no money trail cause he was paid in cause for some & others he had female band members do his bidding like renting. He stayed in an apartment paid by our community funds. The young woman from my community had given up her apartment to him & his stable of girls. They lived there rent free. Until they were reported.
Oh he’s excellent at getting people attention as I said when he said ‘I would die for you.’ As we sat in his vehicle after a band Councillor habdedchim $5,000.00. It was a very impressive way of saying thank you. I mean he’s playing the poor Rez boy card. Like he he’s never seen $5,000.00. Of course, it was manipulative. By this time in his private life he had paid off a court order for child support of about $70,000.00. So, he knew what it was like to have large amounts of money. He knew how to use peoples feelings of grieve against them. Rather than find a common ground he abused their grieve & their anger.
I’m getting off track from the stories of all these young women. It’s taken time. It’s been worth every single blog I’ve written. It’s worth all my warnings. It’s taken over a decade & I’m truly grateful for all these young women coming together to support each other.
They were so young & naïve. Their stories of being raped as a child & their belief that his manipulative ways were only temporary. As I’ve said they became a battered wife or girlfriend. Being beaten, raped when ever felt like he needed to get back his control over them.
Each said they stayed because everyone said he was a good man. Yet, for me, I sought out any goodness in what he claimed he healed. You see, he’s never healed anyone including himself. He’s an interpretator & manipulator. He couldn’t be satisfied on just being blessed with a gift to interpret what peoples gifts were. I truly believe he became so jealous that he chose to manipulate those most vulnerable to be accepted.
From all these girls came a healing journey that is healing others. You see, Nathan is the worst of the worst. Yet, we are so enmeshed in our own codependency. Raped culture is why Nathan has never been caught despite only five of his rape victims being in this private Facebook page. There’s are so many of us in denial of what we see everyday in our lives. We tend to think a man walking around with seven girls is normal. We tend to think he’s treating them good cause why else would they stay with him.
Just a girls who’ve been sex trafficked, his stable of girls changes as these girls grow up around him & leave. They learned to put boundaries up. They learned to ask him who he lives or what he truly love. His constant manipulative ways worn them out when they each realized he’s incapable of feeling love or being loved. He’d rather be worshipped.
As I’ve said, at some point in his life he gave up on Creator. Cause he wasn’t happy with the gift creator gave me. I’m sure when he realized the many plans creator had for so many of us Nathan got jealous. I see this in all his survivors if his abuse. The gifts they are sharing after denying themselves this freedom.
For me, it’s what one of his first cousins told me years ago that made me realize who Nathan really was portraying. He cousin said ‘I wish people would just leave him alone & figure things out in their own.’ Yes, if were not so vulnerable when they had met him & if they had some lifeskills about grieving, I think they would have trusted their gut feelings.
As I’ve said, from my nature prospective at the first encounters I had with Nathan, yes, I was impressed; however, I still needed to find someone who could Vouch for him. Believe me I searched. Why, cause $5,000.00 is a lot of money. For each ceremony of communicating with the dead he got $5,000.00 & for the 7 ceremonies I helped arrange each family or group cane up with this money.
This type of spiritual abuse on top of his Skid row mentality over young girls eventually got him banished from our community. I believe we realized we can do these things ourselves. After all Creator gave all human beings this gift. Some want more...
