Frauds / Re: kunsikeya.org / Beverly Little Thunder & "Wimmin's Sun Dance"
« Last post by RedRightHand on April 27, 2024, 06:44:43 pm »I find it incredibly ironic that she's speaking out about pretendians now, because Beverly Little Thunder is personally responsible for creating hundreds, possibly thousands, of pretendians herself. By selling ceremony to non-Natives for decades, she has created a huge network of frauds who have now taught frauds, expanding exponentially to such a degree that now there are pretendians who don't even know she's the source of their "teachings".
It's shocking to me that there are now legit people allowing her to participate in projects who don't seem to know (or care?!) that she has done so much harm and, as far as I know, never apologized or done a single thing to make it right. The disclaimers posted above about her only letting Natives dance, lead ceremony, etc, are completely untrue. Non-Native people of all backgrounds, but overwhelmingly monied white women, who learned from Beverly, are leading bastardized Native ceremonies all over the country, and probably the world by now.
