questions about Ironman
« on: July 28, 2010, 05:50:50 pm »
Hi all!
New to this site and have a question. Stephen McNatt, also calling himself Ironman, is around and about in Sweden. He claims he is a blackfeet. He makes flutes and does some dancing. He supposedly (rumors) performs ceremonies. Does anyone know anything about this guy or know how I can check out if he is blackfeet?

Take care y all!

All I could find about him online. Is Annika around? She'd probably have heard about him. Most of what I found were him on flutemaking sites. The others, below.

Hello great article by the way.
I am American Indian Living here in Sweden and I am in an on going war to stop Wannabes like this man and others I have already shut down 5 new age resorts here in Sweden that were stealing Our peoples culture for there own profit. fake medicine men or Shaman ( by the way if some one says thay are an indian shaman RUN away fast we dont use that word and never have),fake ndns and fake sweat lodges. This pisses me off so much to see what is going on I could scream.
I do enjoy people here that want to learn more about my people and our culture and I lecture and teach here about that for a living. people can honor us just by respecting us I personally teach people how to dance or how to play the flute and some I have taught here have gone to powwows back in the USA and said up front they are Swedish and are dancing in honor of our people this is not the actions of a wannabe they are respecting us by not claming something they are not. But what that FREAK THIEF in Turkey is doing is is an insult. Just look at his TV interviews he has done That alone makes me want to go to Turkey and strip him of everything he has that is Of Our great peoples he is an insult to us all and slaps all of us in the face with his actions.

 I am Stephen Iron-Man McNatt I am Native American but I still prefer to be called Indian, I say this we Native Americas have been stereotyped so much that to be honest most of us are sick of it PLEASE change the name and cartoons on the product in question. Sitting Bull we as a people find it to be disrespecting a great man of the people. Would you make an Ice-cream product of a dark chocolate covered vanilla bar and put a cartoon of a woman in a burka on the box and market it as a burka bar? some how I think NOT so Please consider my request to remove the name and cartoon of the product Sitting Bull thank you

The bad google translation says he "acts as medicine". Do they mean as a medicine man?

Hmmm, I know I´ve heard somewhere but not sure. Kanai?
He also claims he is a medicineman and for a couple of years ago he had some lectures about native americans and they finished the meetings with building a sweatlodge (link in swedish, look for program for Tomasdal, there is also a picture of him http://www.friskatag.net/kalendarium.aspx?d=2008-09 )

When he lived in US he stayed in Idaho.
