This is what the Nuagers get up to over here..we are but few in Europe to protest against this type of thing happening..we send protest e-mails/inform who we can about these fakes and if we can afford the travel we go and confront these people.
But we also need to let know the Nations Elders about what is happening and the Grand Chiefs.
Can anyone here help us?
Many Thanks
