William Burchett AKA William Jervis AKA Turtle Fire Walker AKA Medicine Turtle

[Defend the Sacred]

Just adding this for the record, for anyone just stumbling into all this:

Arvol and Paula are aware of the fake profiles, and want them taken down. We have gotten about half of them down, and are working on the others. If you come across anyone online claiming to be Chief Arvol Looking Horse, please remember this: Arvol does not blog. He does not post on message boards, nor does he have any profiles on any social networking sites.

In the future, all official statements from Arvol will come from their official website: http://wolakota.org/

Once the website is upgraded, Paula will continue to also send out Arvol's statements for him via email, as she does now, but in the future they will include a link to confirm them on the official website. This has become necessary due to the impersonators and attempts at identity theft.

While Arvol does not use the computer himself, he has full access to what is online, and a team of assistants who research and keep him up to date on these things - he knows about the situation with Jervis, Crowther, and the other frauds and has been aware of it all along. When asked about Kiesha Crowther his response has been that Ms. Crowther is not a member of the Lakota Nation, she is not a relative, and she has no rights to ceremonies.

Anyone claiming otherwise is misinformed. Please set them straight if it comes up. Thanks

it might be a good idea to put this on the main page, as well as having this info in its own thread to make it easier to find.

Since this guy was my main reason for joining here, this is just to let you know that William Jervis AKA Cherokeemedizinmann, AKA Turtle winds Firewalker, AKA Firespeaks seems to be intermittently active on the Talking Stick forum of Shaman Portal.

Some very silly information on the various web sites he puts forward and which seem to last only a month or so.

(crossposted from Kiesha Crowther thread as it has information pertaining to both)

Ok....I can confirm the "TheTribeofmanycolors" youtube channel is the creation of Burchett.  Searched the littlegrandmothershamanschool@yahoo.com address.  A whole bunch of hits all with Burchett's signature child-like writing.  Blog sites, forum messages, networking sites.  All over the place (like he does with the NAFPS copycat sites he creates...same thing).  So this basically confirms she's not opening a shaman school in Germany, but in fact, Burchett is working to help a few "wisdomkeepers" open their own.  According to him, these are 2 other of the 12 "wisdomkeepers" that Crowther is supposed to be part of.  This is not attributed to her, however, I have no knowledge of these two working together and it's not unlike Burchett to try and steal customers from other frauds.

Here's an example and I'm posting one of the blog postings.  A rather comical (and almost sad) description of how this shaman school is NOT Lakota:

So keep an eye out for both these e-mail addresses.  Ever since he began trying to get in contact with her he's been pretending he's her and using these e-mail addresses (although one is spelled wrong in this particular post), and if anyone can get an idea of who Burchett is trying to promote (John Berry and Tammy Sue) then that might be of interest to the board as he states that their "teacher" is Lakota (who I'm assuming is Burchett's business partner Don Hines).

There's a thread on Burchett here.  12 pages of info.  A definite, without a doubt fraud.  He even defrauds other frauds.  He's used the brandiwish e-mail addy at least since 2008.  It's a lame attempt by Burchett to sockpuppet comment sections on websites to promote his "Indian Camps" and attempt to sell ceremonies.  He's really a joke and if he's doing what you say, the more information the better to stop his activity.  Please feel free to read and add any info you can.

need to shut them down

[dabosijigwokush]

his myspace has a virus in it

This "Firewalker" is the same on my site http://www.worldwidefriends... an advertisement had in jail find the correspondence for Indians. He had to present a photo that looks exactly the same like the above mentioned Firewalker. I got also emails from him and some followers after his Entlasung, radio shows etc. in Luxembourg made advertising for events.
How long he was in jail I can not say, but surely from 2001-2004. Afterwards, he indicated by the Bureau of prisons when released. It may be (I'm fairly sure), that he is one William A. Burchett, who received 121 months + 60 months + 3 years (probation) for armed robbery in 1991.
 I was attention to him again as I he got knows an invitation to an event with him and the who and carefully made the people on Firewalker. The event was cancelled and I am very glad about that. Each Plastikshamane is one too many.

Yep, that's Jervis. I'll add this to the Jervis thread.

ETA:

Great... fraudulent healer scaring people that they'll get cancer or car crashes if they don't do his bidding.

Oooh. And he can do TIME TRAVEL. He's pretty fancy. And of course it involves wolves. And his 150 year old grandmother. Wow.

Added the info from "I"'s intro to the thread. "I", if you want to tell us about yourself, please feel free to start a new thread about yourself in intros, but post the Jervis/Burchett info here. Thanks!

It seems that he is now active under the name "Medicine Turtle".

https://www.facebook.com/medicineturtle?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser

[loudcrow]

He is also "Cherokee Nations" on Facebook and is using the email address: cherokeereservationmail@yahoo.com.

https://www.facebook.com/cherokee.nations.7?fref=pb&hc_location=friends_tab

https://www.facebook.com/Indianern?fref=ts

As of December, 2013, he can be reached at telephone numbers in the USA (area code 606 Kentucky), Germany and Luxemburg.

I noticed he also has the Seal of the Cherokee Nation on his Facebook photo.

He also identifies himself as "M.D." on his blogspot.

He even owns a campsite in Kentucky, Luxemburg and Austria! Here's a link to the one in Kentucky:

Most disturbing is his obituary:
http://www.obituariesfree.com/2011/03/william-a-burchett.htm

He's been been reincarnated as "Medicine Turtle" and has been as busy as a beaver since November 2013.

I wonder where he's getting money to buy 3 campsites. He does sell his phony ceremonies but that seems to be only about every 6 months or so. Judging by the photos on his sites, he never has more than 4 or 5 victims, much less than most other frauds.

Here's another site where he sells creams, shampoo, and some kind of handmade symbols.
http://www.hal-lo.at/produkte.html

The site is owned by Sabine Maria Bohler, who calls herself Crazy Woman, seems to be his partner. I did see some sites mentioning a dentist by that name, but don't know if it's the same person.

They mention an alleged Oglala elder He Who Knows.

He evens sells business seminars and dream readings here. http://schwitzhuette.biz/indianischepresse.html

On his google site he posted a welcome to tourists from the leader of the Eastern Band. Standard stuff, come camping etc, but to Europeans who didn't know any better might sound like an official endorsement.

Ingeborg, can you take a look at these German sites?
