She was a third rate psychologists until she came up with a gimmick. Now she does Vision Quests,Womyn’s Sweat Lodges and Moon Lodges for $250.00. Heron Wind specializes in bastardizing Native American spirituality with psycho-babble and LBGT propaganda. She’s very, very new age and into the Mayan mystery schools. She claims a “Grandmother spirit??? came to her in a sweat lodge and told her to charge women for her brand of mystical experiences. She knows nothing about Native traditions whatsoever.
I met a woman at a peace march here who raved about her, who said she told her to soak a stick in her menstrual blood and tie colored ribbons around it and carry it around with her and make sure to tell everyone her power object was soaked in her menstrual blood. Most tribes around here have taboos about doing crazy stuff like that so Linda's disciple wasn’t as well received as she thought she would be.

I think people need to start posting warnings to green party, environmentalist, leftist, progressive feminist/neopagan sites. If you go at it from the perspective that she’s NOT AUTHENTIC and that she’s ripping them off you might get further. Why not go more mainstream. Post to Democratic Underground or see if moveon dot com will do a email warning about her? If the lefties think they’re wasting their money on something that isn’t genuine they’re more likely to stop it than if they know they’re hurting Native people.
