This was my experience in confronting Nathan Chasing Horse in 2007. He had no compassion for his victims. His propensity for girls started being more openly displayed by the summer of 2007.

As in this site I can attach video and links: therefore, I am brainstorming as to how to find a different way of discussing what appears to be a taming the sexuality of our young indigenous females by this plastic medicine man.

As I listen to the audio tapes, its like living through a wild west movie in the way our gender was used against us. All ones needs to do is search for names of indigenous women within documents about Indian Residential School, there are none. I'll search to see if I can find something noting any documentation by Indian Agents, legislation, Parliamentary discussion regarding a positive perspective of our gender.

I am hoping to video tape women who are leaders within our community. Their identity maybe secured to hide their identity and their words will be taped in the language they grew up speaking.

I wish to give this topic of a Plastic Medicine Man a historical perspective. Rather than focusing on his negative behavior, I've realized when I first met him that he thrives off both negative and positive discourse around him: therefore, I am taking this away from him. There will be a section that will still updates about his whereabouts as alerts given to me by locate readers and social media sources.

My art practice isn't just being a painter. It's dealing with issues around gender and sexuality.

similarities between two groups; indigenous peoples of the Americas and Jews, both having experienced genocide and the after effects within our communities that are so similar in how plastic medicine men and rabbis have similar behavior in exploiting our most vulnerable people within our communities.
This trafficking of indigenous girls is historical. This attitude expressed in research documents of young women described as "the savage was so thin and washed out" ... they were able to find happiness...sold to old chief." (Barman)
Reconciliation....
Sexualizing ceremonies involving girls (these events are historical and still continue today without question) My hope is that, you, the reader will start to think about your own attitude towards indigenous females. "the campaign to tame Aboriginal sexuality so profoundly sexualized aboriginal women that they were rarely permitted any other form of identity."(Barman) Taking away from sexualizing indigenous women within the ceremony, I am hoping to bring a discussion on this site. Interviewing various women about their roles within their community, their homes and within themselves.
Reconciliation..

My mind wanders as this topic is so close to me, not just in the fact that I've met this plastic medicine man; however, its also the attitude indigenous men have towards my gender. I realize its historical too and yet there must be something we as indigenous can do to help young indigenous women protect themselves and their children. As reports come back to me about the behavior the women who travel with this plastic medicine man are too vulnerable and are not allowed to interact with others. "The sexualization of Aboriginal women's agency removed any sense of responsibility. Even as his friends were deciding whether to be jealous, "he and his lady had a bad row, and realizing that his little romance was ended he fired her out, and as none of the rest of the old boys were gallant enough to take a chance on her, the lady returned to the bosom of her tribe, and once more there was peace on earth in the little community." (Barman)

I hope this site will evolve into something that makes you think about "what is it about me that caused this?" Too many times a rift occurs between our genders when topics of attitudes towards each other occur. Rightfully so, we bring our own baggage within and relationship even when its just discourse.

I hope you will continue reading. I am researching Indian Residential school and its impact on the female gender and our sexuality. As one of my Facebook friends puts it: (paraphrasing) "Reconciliation for indigenous women is important. Our indigenous men must first come home and reconcile with their moms, sisters, daughters, grandmothers and themselves before any reconciling of any type is to occur. Far to many times, I've been to busy doing other things to look at what other indigenous women are doing and have done and will continue to do until their last breath. Many have worked in Ottawa, they've seen and watched how our men continually do not look after themselves. Whatever has driven them to succeed comes with an emotional price. For too long, the government favors these men. Men who laugh at our elders and laugh at our women. Their rage, hate and lack of empathy towards their own sisters, mothers, aunts and grandmothers gives them shame. The government knows this and using it to the best of their ability against their own people.

This effort to praise our indigenous men who are hired in key positions is historical in records. I sometimes wonder if this is the reason our men turned to alcohol. Are they trying to drown their shame of being indigenous or are they just too detached to care about what's happening to their sisters? I tend to think less; however, I am not like most indigenous women. These indigenous men should be so fortunate others are forgiving souls. I on the other hand know that their trauma needs to heal.

Memories of my late mother saying her dad, my grandfather taught her in a warning that the Dakota Medicine was good, but not anymore. As far back as 81 years ago, fake medicine people deceived their own people for money, power, and glory. Our grandmothers showed us through their prayers helping us celebrate love and helping us celebrate life within our families. Through my own lived experiences, I had to eliminate my own self-defeating behavior. Our people are depending on us to bring justice into our Indigenous Communities. Our Indigenous girls and women are going missing at an alarming rate and are being human trafficked. With little help in finding them or bringing their killers or abusers to justice, I started this blog. I never thought I would live to see such as year as 2023. Today, I feel blessed to be able to hold those who reached out to me in high regard. I am truly grateful, Creator’s Will guided me in my lifetime to see Nathan Chasing Horse arrested. And, yet at the same time, I grief for all his victims who died before they could see him brought to justice.

It was a HBO movie set I first met Nathan Chasing Horse. I worked along side my late mother who was literate in Dakota. We didn’t spend too much time with him as he knew how to somewhat speak Lakota. Mostly we were around Actors like Adam Beach and Eric Schweig teaching them the proper pronunciations. My first impression of him was not that of an actor rather that of an indigenous young man with many ex-girlfriends. I ignored his arrogance as I managed my way through being a consultant on behalf of my later mother for the Director and the executive producers of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. Micheal Spears was stopped at the Canadian border so his role needed to be filled and since Nathan Chasing Horse was available he auditioned for the part with my mother speaking Dakota to him. The original intention of the movie was to have most of the dialogue in Lakota; however, as production started only few dialogues were kept. The Sioux culture needed representation. I advised them that the songs sung in Lakota would add a difference to the lack of dialogue and they agreed. I suggested they use Nathan’s singing ability and his ability to pronounce Lakota correctly as an asset. Prior to this Nathan was only hired as a stand-in as a Sioux Jailer for Sioux prisoners, nothing more and nothing less. It was in the fall of 2006. Nathan made connections with my younger brother and my oldest niece whom I took on the movie set. My brother started promoting Nathan in the schools and asked if I could help connect him with others within my community. From the ending of the movie in November of 2006 until March 2007, Nathan, and his entourage of three men left. During this time, I reached out to my friends who were having problems with the daughters. We met and hatched a plan to raise money for the mother’s and their daughters to attend Yuwipi, sweats and Sundance. It was the trip to the Sundance in Wolf Point that would cost the most. We tried to fund raise that turned out to be a disaster; however, once members of my community met and supported Nathan the money for the Yuwipi and Sweats were found, but not the Sundance; however, my younger brother was helped with Nathan and his entourage for his Sundance in the summer of 2007. Our ancestors carried within them intergenerational trauma that was further perpetuated in the creations of Indian Residential Schools. It’s a dark place of racism and genocide. Much of what I’ve written about pertains to sexual deviancy. I basically thought the 12-step programs of AA, Al-Anon, Sex Addiction and other 12-step programs helped. As we’ve all grown up around family violence; I’ve met many men who were exposed to such extreme violence. Much I write about here is focusing on is Limerence, because of intergenerational trauma. As the Yuwipi focuses on Limerence practices and I believe was once good. I’ve found as more and more non-indigenous people and indigenous people seek out by cultural appropriation through exploitation. Culturally appropriating our sweats and ceremonies doesn't mean you are healed or that you are automatically adopted into an Indigenous way of knowing. Being around indigenous communities isn't a place to hide your disorders rather it needs to be a place of communities like AA, Al-non and other 12-step programs. There’s no magic wand nor some psychic Psyche who can conjure up a quick fix. It takes time and a lot of hard emotional work. It's just sad that our own people are predators to our own girls and women. I was born into such a way of thinking, and I don’t blame anyone. I’ve learned we as human beings have more in common than our differences. This need for validation and acceptance is as old as time itself, so be kind to yourself and love the person you discover within yourself.
