North Ontario Canadian Native (Mohawk family)

His father was a great wilderness teacher and fur trapper.

He's the only person that uses "North Ontario Canadian Native" online.

If he lives at the address that Best Health 4 Paws in Sedona is listed at, he may be Joseph Daniel.

Best Health 4 Paws corporation is owned by Janis Daniel Dees, who looks to also go by Sophia JanTara. http://www.sophiajantara.com/cgi-bin/showcase.pl?action=home2&venue=v0&p1=&p2=

The link that Al posted above for Ashtar Command says Joseph Cosgrove, so could that possibly be his given name?

He is also listed on this site, but the link does not work.  Just look at the company he keeps:  http://corporateshamanway.com/pages/resources.html

How can he be both a Canadian and a "Native American Shaman"?

Janis Daniel Dees is a nutritional consultant in the field of veterinary medicine.

I think you are right Autumn on his name, he used it here too:

His daughter's surname is Cosgrove. Info via his Facebook page.

Daughter and other Cosgroves on his FB are in North Bay Ontario area.

You will also experience first-hand personal insights in the medicine wheel ceremony Joseph performs individually. Through his knowledge of sacred Native American ways he offers his teachings and intuition in assisting you in recognizing your life’s direction and flow.
Through walks in the astounding, healing vortexes of the canyons and mesas of Sedona, Joseph gently shares, guides and directs spirit through the subtle energies of the natural beauty in which you are immersed.

I looked at that elephant tribe too, and found it was full of frauds including our friend William two feathers. His interview with some European is on there, the one where he claims special forces w/the Marines and a kung fu expert. Hmmm....seems like this Joseph white wolf is in good company.

[Autumn]

And he is teaching others to "follow in his footsteps".

I received an account saying the following about Cosgrove's family:

Thomas and Curtis Cosgrove are his sons. Sarah Cosgrove is his daughter. Larry Cosgrove is his Father. JWW claims his NDN ancestry comes from his paternal great grandmother.

JWW's name that he used until a few years ago was Daniel or Danny. Full legal name is Joseph Daniel Rirt Cosgrove. Until ten years ago, a locksmith in Ontario.

This ceremony selling notice is on elephantribe.org. Moved to Frauds.

There are other allegations of outright criminal wrongdoing that I won't post unless or until there's proof.

I received an account saying the following about Cosgrove's family:

Thomas and Curtis Cosgrove are his sons. Sarah Cosgrove is his daughter. Larry Cosgrove is his Father.

JWW's name that he used until a few years ago was Daniel or Danny.

Social media and public records do confirm all this. His children's names and his father.

His father Larry Cosgrove performs country music as "The Singing Trapper", and identifies as "trapper ... music" on his Linkedin profile, so that fits JWW's description of his father as a trapper.

At the time of JWW's mother's passing, he was listed in the obit as "Dan Cosgrove".
http://www.mcguintyfuneralhome.com/obits/obituary.php?id=238593. Her name Carol Ann Cosgrove, born Carol Ann Mary Henrietta Smith.

Found his parent's marriage certificate.

Oddly enough, he looks to be the only person in his family who identifies as Mohawk.

[Epiphany]

I received an account saying the following about Cosgrove's family:

 JWW claims his NDN ancestry comes from his paternal great grandmother.

One of his paternal great grandmothers is Pearl Etta Louise Delorie, wife of Isaac Doucette. That family can be followed back through the Drouin Collection records. The other is believed to be (unsourced family trees state this) Sophia Vaillancourt, wife of Thomas Cosgrove.

I've not found any First Nation heritage listed in public records for these women or their respective parents.

Only see this:

Racial or Tribal Origin:   French
Nationality:   Canadian
Religion:   Roman Catholic

Only variation on that theme I've found so far is Thomas Cosgrove, he was born Canada, in 1911 Ontario census he is listed as Tribal: Irish. Thomas Cosgrove's grandparents were both from Ireland.

JWW might have more distant heritage, or the records might not accurately reflect his heritage.
