She wasn't "vindicated." Part of how her close friend covered for her was by asking the wrong question. Not "did she fake her identity" past tense, but "is she faking her identity" in the present. Myself and several others were in contact with her by a series of emails and with one us by phone. She did sincerely believe false stories about an ancestor. That was never the problem.
The problem was always that she continues (in the present) to present herself as Native and Ojibwe despite overwhelming evidence she's not, never was. That's not only unethical, it's delusional. I was one who defended her once she stepped down from one position. If she'd been honest from that point on, this whole thread would have been archived, and she truly would have been vindicated.
Then she decided again and again to still pretend to be Ojibwe. It was never about her "foundational beliefs and experiences." That a white way, an outsider's way, and a Newage way of thinking. She says the only thing she learned was not to talk about it. Then she still hasn't learned.
