NO LONGER A MATTER OF CONCERN: Chief Red Hawk aka Ed RedHawk Laughry
William_Graywolf:
This man's real name was Ed Laughry. He lives near Williamsburg, VA. Many of us from this state have learned a little something about him. He legally changed his name to RedHawk. A friend of mine knows this man's sister (by the way Trish, this friend is also a friend of yours). She told him that Ed was of Mexican descent just as she is.
Another lady my father knew, (I don't give names without permission), ran into him. Because she goes among the Virginia natives and many accept her, he wanted her to introduce him. When she refused he was very beligerant. Not a good man to come across. Especially if he wants something and doesn't get it.

hi, i'm new to this group and i have been trying to do some research on this fellow red hawk. that's how i found this forum and decided to join. i also belong to yahoo groups that are talking about this man. one group has actually got red hawk to join in on the posting, i guess in a way to let him speak for himself. i was wondering if i can post these messages from here to that yahoo group with ya'lls permission? i won't post anything without someone's permission. i think it is very interesting how much both groups think he is a fraud. i believe mr graywolf is already on one of the groups i speak of. if anyone wants i can post the links to the yahoo groups so that your opinions of this fellow can be heard there as well. thank you very much!!
William_Graywolf:
When searching this site, don't forget to check under United Cherokee Nation about what I've managed to learn so far.
Since the latest I received more emails:
Seems when he first came to Virginia he claimed he was Hawaiian. He actually went around in a cape and a tall hat as if he resembled the Hawaiian chiefs. But he made a switch to Indian. He went around to Virginia schools in the 90’s but when enough people were complaining and water got too hot for him he disappeared for a while. No one took him seriously then and thought of him as a threat.
But then he joined the Southeastern Cherokee band when they started up 12 or 13 years ago, got himself a card from them and managed to get involved with AIM. Several people here in Virginia tried to speak out against him, but some of those belonging to fake bunches of Cherokee promoted him.
It’s too bad no one took the first people complaining about him seriously enough to do something about it when he first started. Now he’s making big dollars using a false title at the expense of the Cherokee people. However, the group he did get papers from tried to get Federal status and did NOT.
Red Hawk, you hear of Hugh Lambert and Michell Hicks? How is it you say you have membership there and claim to be a chief? You can’t. Michell Hicks is chief. You are chief of nothing, no tribe that is valid. Might be called CNO of an organization, but not chief of any tribe or nation. You are NOT a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee.

Little by little I am finding this man is nothing but a liar and fraud. He claimed enrollment with the Eastern Cherokee and is not. Now I have an email from the Olympics where he claimed he had received some sort of diplomatic recognition.
INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE
ANSWER RELATED TO A QUESTION POSTED ON WWW.OLYMPIC.ORG
You asked:
Red Hawk was given "Diplomat" status by the International Olympic Committee for his musical performances and cultural programs at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City
Is this a truthful statement or not. Thank you
Answer:
Dear Mr Atkins:
Many thanks for your query of 14 November 2006.
After consulting the primary sources that we have at our disposal which might have made reference to such a recognition being made, we have been unable to find any record of this. As such, this is not a truthful statement.
Sincerely,
IOC Information Management Department
