Adam DeArmon AKA Adam Yellowbird of Sedona

EducatedIndian, I will drop it, but I promise you that I will not tolerate being treated badly, and already 2 members of this forum have treated me in a way that I don't find fair. There is an appropriate way to get a message across and there is an INappropriate way to do it. "Owning" something (like a message board) doesn't give people the right to talk down to others.
Anyway, I'm not surprised by that. But it proves that what you guys are doing is working, and is effective! Keep up the great work everybody and please accept my apology for jumping to conclusions. I'll use the search function from now on before asking redundant questions.

I received an account that DeArmon is at it again worse than ever, over in South Carolina selling sweatlodges, claiming outright to a a Native medicine man, and "sexual inappropriateness."

Not sure why we neglected to move him to Frauds years ago. Any search of the site shows DeArmon has a long and ugly record of exploitation, working with or promoting numerous other frauds.

Adam: I've had an opportunity growing up… ever since I was a little child in a multicultural background with my parents, living in nature camps — also learning Transcendental Meditation as a young child. By the age of 12 I had already acquired my 'sit-down' technique, where you sit and meditate for 20 minutes at a time and more, to enhance the awakening of spiritual consciousness. Also in my background, was being raised with the sweat-lodge and ceremonies from the indigenous and other cultures.

I grew up in a community, a commune, on the east coast near Baltimore, Maryland. It was called Heathcote. It was a thriving commune in the 1960's. It was a totally alternative lifestyle for the times… working with massage and other things. Actually, a lot of our teachers at the time were working with color and sounds therapies.

In February of 2021, Adam Dearmon was arrested for drug possession in Arizona. Given what was found in his home I do not know how his case was dismissed after he pleaded guilty but he’s out raising money to help his cause and keep doing his thing.

From the Red Rock News article:
“… investigators found 8.9 Pounds of mescaline, 427 live peyote cacti, 83 marijuana plants, 29 pounds of dry peyote, 59 pounds of processed marijuana, 5 pounds of psilocybin mushrooms, and 7 LSD tabs.”

Under Which Statements Are Incorrect and Why, I wrote:

Adam DeArmon is a career con man, a white imposter posing as a Native medicine man, part of a group ONAC that is made up of white imposters posing as Native hoping they can avoid arrest or prison for buying, selling, and using illegal drugs, falsely claiming they are a Native church and falsely claiming most of these drugs are part of Native traditions.

ONAC has been denounced by actual Native American Churches here:
http://www.narf.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/ncnac_statement.pdf

I'm Associate Professor of History at Northern Virginia Community College and one of the founders of NAFPS. We've researched DeArmon's fraud and imposture for decades.

DeArmon has made huge amounts of cash off his fraudulent actions by every estimate, defrauding hundreds of people including both his all white followers and actual Native elders. There is no reason he can't easily afford to pay his own lawyers and no way to guarantee he won't use any donations for his own profit and not the legal case.

He is in violation of your TOS the following ways:
Falsely claiming to be something he is not, Native or a medicine man.
Falsely claiming persecution for something he is not, Native or a medicine man.
Taking funds under false pretenses, for his own profit rather than a lawyer.
