She set us back an entire culture of people

Buffy Saint Marie not being indigenous. Her real name is Beverly Jean Santamaria. She thought decades ago about becoming indigenous & acted on these thoughts. She was never adopted. She was born in Massachusetts USA with Italian parents. 

Nathan Chasing Horse not being a Lakota Medicine Man. He’s thought of having sex with children decades a ago & acted on these thoughts. He was never accepted as a Medicine Man by his own reservation. He was born into environment of poverty with Lakota teenage parents. 

All this information on these two fakes are published in transcripts. They both brought shame on all those indigenous people; First Nations, Metis & Inuit. Indigenous people who I've known  who lived through hell in those indian residential schools, as if they had no voice & only theirs mattered. I am totally disgusted with them both.  Survivors of trauma deserve respect. I'm quoting a friend as it too is heart breaking for authentic indigenous people who were denied their status, denied their voice, denied their existence. What they've done is criminal exploitation of an entire culture of people!

With all their talent they didn't need an indigenous identity of; one being adopted into an indigenous family, the other adopting an genuine medicine man persona. So why did they do it? For Buffy St. Marie she's still saying she was adopted & evidence against her increasely grows against her. For Nathan Chasing Horse he's still saying he's innocent & evidence against him increasely grows against him. 

They both had many people believe their stories. Buffy St. Marie claiming she was adopted and that she didn't know who her parents were. She was raised by her natural Italian parents with a full blooded younger sister. Nathan Chasing Horse claiming he was a holy Lakota medicine man and that he was accepted as one by his reservation. He was raised by his biological Lakota parents & had so many children with so many women. 

I was thinking about these two fraudulent people thriving in our indigenous communities. These people were around greatness. These people having intimate relationships with greatness. Their choices in life are not revealed until the damaged created by their behaviour leads to their public exposure. These two fooled many for decades cause they surrounded themselves with the greatness that was not theirs. A greatness of those that came before us. A greatness that is carried within their honesty.
