Edge:
Hi,
I think this man may be a fraud.

(If you type his name into Google you will find a lot of information on him)
"Manny Twofeathers, Aztec and Yaqui, was born in Arizona. He was largely influenced by the southwest legends and native spirituality born of his ancestry. He has authored 2 hugely successful books: "My Road to the Sundance" (published by Hyperion and 2002 edition by Wo-Pila Publishing) and "Stone People Medicine" (published by Wo-Pila Publishing and New World Library) - both lean toward native spirituality, and have been published in foreign languages. Twofeathers is a spiritual elder and counselor. He travels extensively performing spiritual ceremonies, giving lectures and workshops throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe. He currently lives in Pennsylvania with his wife and their 2 children."
"Though his tribe does not participate in the Plains Tribes' Spiritual Sundances, Manny has, as part of his spiritual beliefs, completed 4 Sundances with the Shoshoni people in Ft. Washakie, Wyoming. He has pierced in 14 Sundances in Rosebud and Porcupine, South Dakota. As of June, 2000, Manny Twofeathers, was directed by the Creatorto begin a Mixblood Sundance, and recently completed the 4th annual Mixblood Sundance in Pennsylvania."
(And of course he sells books, does workshops, etc., etc)
Thank you.

"Manuel Trujillo Rendon, 68, died June 9, 2007, at the VA hospital in Tucson. He was an Ajo native and was an actor & author under the name Manny Twofeathers."
When someone passes, or we first hear news of it, we'd normally move it to Archives. With one exception. Rendon's fraud continues, with others using his name to spread falsehoods and make money. Wm Anderson and Rendon's wife both continue to profit off the exploitation Rendon did while living.
Incidentally, it seems Rendon had given up claiming to be Yaqui towards the end, just saying "Aztec". His wife claims the same.

Thank you Educatedindian.
Someone had tried to tell me he was Lakota.
It sounded fishy to me.
Thank you again for your reply.
