Standing Rock Update: stranded medics and mental health providers need your help. Please share this with your friends and your family. We have Maddox and miss Wild providers that are stranded at a hotel in Mandan and are looking for donations to be able to stay there until this next blizzard is over before they can go home. If you want to assist them and their finances please donate to soulmedicineSunday @Gmail.com. Thank you so much for the bottom of all of our hearts out here Standing Rock for all your support all your donations all your contributions we love you we are so appreciative

She made several videos purportedly on location.

This fundraiser https://www.gofundme.com/soulmedicinesunday has only made $50 so far.

Let’s help with some of Sylina’s regular monthly expenses so she can keep doing this good work at Standing Rock!!!  This will cover things like electric, phone, internet, car insurance, etc.  The total monthly expense is $4,000.00.

Sylina TaliniYona has been working with the medic corp in Standing Rock.  Our Momma Bear, a counselor and Senior Pastor with our own Soul Medicine, is working with Water Protectors experiencing trauma and crisis here because of the violence and the triggered PTSD.  To do this she is setting aside her own practice back home


Her Facebook post today:

You can donate to my private paypal soulmedicinesunday@gmail.com and I will personally make sure it gets to our relatives out there for what they need or you can call and pay for a night at the Prairie Nights Casino in Fort Yates (800) 425-8277 and then PM me to let me know. Let us come together in solidarity and not use this to pad our pockets but be used for the appropriate things that are needed at camp. I will be returning there once my strength is back.

The following post showed up on my FB feed, with people commenting that the posters, (Unify?), seem to be unaffiliated with any of the people at the camps and should not be given money.

The FB link to their page is: =kC&ft[qid]=6367201279883322365&ft[mf_story_key]=-3562320291275563833&ft[ei]=AI%4049dcd49108214fd886f144cb506fcb55&ft[top_level_post_id]=1369697366375184&ft[fbfeed_location]=1&ft[insertion_position]=1&__md__=1]https://www.facebook.com/unify/?hc_ref=ADS&fref=nf&ft[tn]=kC&ft[qid]=6367201279883322365&ft[mf_story_key]=-3562320291275563833&ft[ei]=AI%4049dcd49108214fd886f144cb506fcb55&ft[top_level_post_id]=1369697366375184&ft[fbfeed_location]=1&ft[insertion_position]=1&__md__=1


Below is the post.


HELP STANDING ROCK GET THROUGH THE WINTER
The Standing Rock water protectors are here to stay. While the threat of environmental damage to the Missouri river still exists, these brave souls have committed to staying on site, to prevent the destruction of the river.
Hundreds of people are still on site at the camp, preparing the land for the winter ahead.
Basic needs such as food and water systems need to be built up again. And key winterization infrastructure, such as wood fired stoves, snow plows, generators, and food storage are needed to keep the water protectors safe during the cold winters of North Dakota.
We are working on site with the tribe to help build out winter infrastructure and ship supplies in.
Help support the movement by donating now towards the Oceti Winterization needs.

@Piff:

Is this a group to be concerned about? I have been telling folks on my FB circuit to not donate to them and instead donate to the GoFundMe set up by the Sacred Stone Camp folks.

I don't trust Unify at all, would not give them any money. Will write something up on them for Research Needed soon.

Unify set up a misleading clickbait site. They posted links to Native-run pages, but with their own graphics, falsely advertising that they were part of the Native networks. They also posted videos of Native leaders to make it seem like actual Native leaders were in on their pay-to-pray events with scammers. They posted weird things saying there would be co-ordinated prayer events on Sundays, leading non-Natives to think prayer was only happening on Sundays. Tons of white people were sharing their nuage pages instead of Native ones, misled into thinking Unify was a Native group.

Continuing on from the discussion about security in the Ruby Sylina Lynch AKA Sylina Buehne AKA Sylina Two Bears AKA Sylina TaliniYona thread: http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=4940.msg43265#msg43265

We knew going into this pipeline fight that, just like with WKII, the influx of nontraditional people, and the fact some Natives were allowing non-Natives into ceremonies, would both attract and spawn new appropriators and pretendians. We also knew that, even in the cases where known pretendians' and exploiters' names were given to security and the frauds were refused entry into camp, that the pretendians would just go home and lie. Right now, frauds are falsely claiming to have done ceremony with traditional Elders at Standing Rock, even abusing names of people they've never met. White people are claiming they are now members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. Or that they are members of the Oceti Sakowin (yes, claiming they now belong to the Great Sioux Nation, not just the encampment). And the nons who send them money never check; most of them don't know how (and exploiters count on that). Now there's been so much turnover in security, white people are also working security, so there is less of a guarantee exploiters will be turned away unless things also get less hectic for the NDNs who've been in this all along.

Of course, most of the nons making false ceremonial and adoption claims don't know what is and isn't ceremony or adoption, either, so... there is that, at least.

Looking at the linked FB pages in some recent threads, we can see the profuse and appalling, predictable results. We look at the media and see the same. On the nightly news we've seen white women attempting to sing fake water songs they learned on YouTube, while they bang out of rhythm on brand new drums, and the newscaster calls it "An Indian Ceremony". We've seen crazy white, semi-naked hippies in rotting animal skins and wild hair claiming to be Lakota, telling Democracy Now about how Indians "worship the 'Sacred Feminine'". We now have an exponentially higher number of frauds and exploiters in the world, and they are name-dropping Standing Rock, Oceti Sakowin, and the names of any Natives who were kind to them as their alleged ticket to exploit all things NDN. It has happened.

I really don't know what comes next.   :'(

Oh yeah, and as soon as they can fix the drill, the drilling will continue. It might be going as I type. They will not stop. Will the pretendians do direct action? Will they put their lives on the line to stop DAPL?

Odelle thanks for running the Whois, that registrant name is helpful. Rave Mehta refers to Unify as a "global partner". Looks like he runs the "global synchronized meditation" mapping and various Unify websites.

As we suspected, ETP will continue drilling the DAPL under the Missouri River despite the Army Core denying the easement. This is not over and from my team on the ground...there's no sign they're abandoning their drill pad.

Here he claims that his prayer event made the difference:

Powerful pic around the Sacred Fire from our second global peaceful prayer / meditation with Standing Rock this morning with hundreds of cities participating. Hours later the Army Corp announced they are denying ETP and the DAPL pipeline the easement through Standing Rock and under the Missouri River. This is the power of peaceful protest, prayer and meditation!

Greetings LaDonna Earthw7, thanks for responding to the information I posted but it doesn't come from the media but from people that were inside. I also know Sarah Little Red Feather Kalmanson personally, and her family and know she's been involved in some shady dealings in Wisconsin and Milwaukee, but if your willing to vouch for her actions there in ND personally I will drop it here. Thanks

Perennial fraud Rachel Holzwarth, aka White Eagle Medicine Woman [sic] (a name she gave herself), aka White Ego Woman or White Ego Fraud Woman (names she earned from Natives who observed her "prayerformances" and other exploitation) has decided that if she holds up some signs about Standing Rock it will mitigate the fact she's still a big old lying fraud.

Here, she demonstrates that, despite claiming that she stands with Standing Rock, she doesn't know where Standing Rock is. She seems to think it's in Missouri.

Like This Page · 16 September 2016 ·
 
Today we are in ceremony making buffalo drums for orders. I decided that this next 18" Buffalo will be called " Standing Rock" to honor and support all our indigenous communities in Missouri and around the world right now standing up for clean water! WE ARE WITH YOU!"


In other photos on her many pages she stands with the cursed drum and one other person, holding a sign, trying to attach herself to the water protectors. The actual water protectors out at Standing Rock, being maced by cops, include the exact same Native activists Holzwarth called the police on when they tried to discuss her offensive misrepresentations with her; she had the cops and private security physically assault and pepper spray those exact same Native activists.

Rachel Holzwarth aka White Eagle Medicine Woman [sic] does not stand with the Water Protectors.
Rachel Holzwarth aka White Eagle Medicine Woman [sic] stands with those who assault and mace Water Protectors.

She's still doing pay to pray for white people who hate Indians but want to replace the Indians.

Evil as ever. With the death drum full of human remains.

(For those who don't know about her, the thread is very long. Here's one post that summarizes some of how it all started http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=1513.msg10815#msg10815)
