Posted separately so no one will have to search for the statement in the thread on Crowther in the Frauds section at http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=2871.0
Anyone can link to the statement directly here.
It's also posted at Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpC-9S1Bplk
"The Culture and Elders Committee of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation protect the intangible cultural resources of the tribes including language, songs, stories etc.
No tribal Elders or elders have met with nor do they condone the claims and actions made by Kiesha Crowther.
She is not their 'shaman', she has no right to claim this title and the Elders and elders of CSKT of the Flathead Reservation would like her to cease and desist immediately from making such false claims that erode the traditions that members of the CSKT Culture and Elders Committee are trying to preserve."
The posting of this statement came with the permission and urging of the Salish elders. Anyone doubting this message's authenticity can contact the Flathead Reservation.
Please repost widely, particularly in sites frequented by Crowther's cult.
Defend the Sacred:
And reminding anyone who has forgotten, this is why the statement from the Salish tribes - notably the Flathead Elders in Montana - is particularly important. These are quotes from Kiesha Crowther's offical website:

"Kiesha’s maternal side of the family is Sioux and Salish, and comes from the Flathead Reservation in Montana."
"she is part-Native American and was made shaman by her family’s tribe"
"tribal members [in Montana] do occasionally seek her out and are referred to her for counsel, blessings, and healings"

I just attempted to view the video linked to on Youtube. I received a blank page with a message that the video has been pulled by the user.
Edit: Having now caught up on the KC/LG thread, I understand what happened to the videos.
Defend the Sacred:
SAMy posted that he is making some changes to it. The video juxtaposed Crowther's claims of being "Sioux-Salish" from the Flathead Reservation with the statement from the Elders Committee denying her claims.
ETA: Here is a video by an Oglala woman that includes the statement juxtaposed with Crowther speaking her claims. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juoD2CdHBAM&feature=player_embedded
