Nathon Breu is an Instructor within the American Indian Studies (AIS) department at UW-Milwaukee. He is 1 of 2 instructors in the AIS department that were protegees of Margaret Noodin. As a student, Nathon was involved in Margaret’s drum group “Minowakiing Chibizhiwag Dewe'igan” and was interviewed with her multiple times by WUWM.

Nathon Breu has made the following claims about his family:
-His dad is from Lac du Flambeau.
-He has an uncle "Ginew Makwaba" from Keeseekoose First Nation in Saskatchewan.
-He's Bear Clan.
-He has family in Northern Wisconsin, Canada, and the Oshkosh area.

Does anyone know anything about this guy?

Nathon Breu, a senior in American Indian studies, researches how the Ojibwe used plants for building materials, food and medicine. A former paramedic and of Ojibwe descent himself, he interviews elders and attends ceremonies in which the plants are used. Breu, a father of seven, plans to go on to earn his doctorate. “This area is rich in Native history and culture, which fits perfectly for me and my research,” Breu says. “I want to teach native history, culture and language, continuing my research on ethnobotany.”

Like her son, Barbara J. (Rudie) Breu Stucki, has made inconsistent claims of Native American ancestry. I was able to find newspaper articles from 1986 and 1995 in which Barbara first claims to be “a native American of the Chicksaw (sic) tribe based in Kentucky” and then “a member of the Ojibwa tribe.” I can’t say whether “Chicksaw” was Barbara’s mistake or a reporter error/misprint. I can say the statement from 1995 about being “a member of the Ojibwa tribe” is consistent with Barbara’s current Facebook profile which says she speaks “English and Ojibwa.” I’ve never heard an actual Ojibwe person refer to themselves as “Ojibwa” and definitely not as being a member of “the Ojibwa tribe.” For reference, Nathon Breu would have been 10 years old in 1986 and 19 years old in 1995.

Barbara worked as an advisor to Native American students in the Multicultural Education Center at UW-Oshkosh. In 1992, ““Manitou Benese: Storyteller of the Great Chickasaw Nation” a dramatization by Barbara Stucki portraying a 17th century Native American storyteller” was hosted by the University of Wisconsin Center-Fox Valley. The title references a Chickasaw storyteller but uses the Ojibwe word “Manitou.”

I feel sympathy for second generation (unwitting) pretendians. At this point in time, I don’t believe Nathon is unwitting though. Nathon claims his dad is from Lac du Flambeau. He mentions an uncle from Keeseekoose First Nation teaching him how to honor the drum. These are Nathon’s stories…not his mom's.

Nathon was a McNair Scholar and an Advanced Opportunity Partnership Fellow. Both programs have similar paths to qualify. You need to be a member of an ethnic or racial group considered underrepresented in graduate education OR a first-generation college student as well as low income. Nathon's mom has a master's degree in clinical psychology from UW-Oshkosh which, from my understanding, makes him ineligible to qualify based on income because you must be a first generation college student AND have high financial need. It seems likely that Nathon qualified based on claims of being Native American.

Mr. Breu Weds Miss Rudie

A 1 p.m. ceremony was performed by the Very Rev. Walter J. Dillenburg in Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church as he united in marriage Miss Barbara Jean Rudie and Robert Raymond Breu.

The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eldon N. Rudie <unreadable> 100 S. Central Ave., was given by her father to the son of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Breu, 602 S. Birch Ave., during the Saturday, May 25, rites. Sister Julie was organist.

Appearing in an empire gown of organza and chantilly lace and a cathedral-length veil of illusion, the bride carried a bouquet of yellow roses and multi-colored daisies. Mrs. Daryl Herman, Marshfield, was matron of honor, and bridesmaids were Miss Marilyn Breu and Miss Coni Bohy, both of Marshfield. Their flocked empire gowns of dotted swiss were complemented by matching Camelot headpieces, which secured short veils.

Best man, Daryl Herman, and groomsmen, Tom Breu and Bill Rudie, are of Marshfield. Dave Herman and Dick Haebig seated guests while Jeff Breu and Chuck Breu were Mass servers. After a dinner, reception and dance at the Marwood Motor Inn, 1735 N. Central Ave., the couple left for a honeymoon. Upon return they will reside at 15 Fulton, Oshkosh.

The new Mrs. Breu graduated in 1973 from Marshfield Senior High School. She was a Sarah Coventry and Amway representative. Her husband, a 1970 graduate of Columbus High School, is a student at the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh.

Below are transcribed excerpts from several YouTube videos not previously cited in this thread. Nathon Breu makes the following representations:
- That an uncle told him about being "cut and washed with bleach" at boarding school
- That he spent time at "[his] res" in the 80s
- That his family is from Lac du Flambeau

There is no evidence Nathon or his family lived at Lac du Flambeau in the 80s or at any other time. There is ample evidence that Nathon's father lived in Omro, WI and his mother lived in Oshkosh, WI throughout the 1980s. Despite talking about a rundown reservation school, Nathon went to school in Omro and Oshkosh. Omro and Oshkosh are approximately 11 miles (17 minute drive) apart. Lac du Flambeau is approximately 182 miles (3 hour drive) away from the Omro/Oshkosh area. He has 6 paternal uncles and 2 maternal uncles. I'm not sure how I would find any of them in Native American boarding school records because they aren't Native American. 

Nathon has made very specific claims. It shouldn't be difficult to answer the following questions:
- Who is his uncle?
- What reservation? Lac du Flambeau? What family live/lived there?

Quote
Transcription starts at 6:12.
Nathon Breu: That's when we- - you see these boarding schools start to rise. Where our Indian children were taken into and sent to boarding schools. Usually far away from their home so they couldn't run away or find their way back. Um- and then -there's-  that's where all these atrocities happen -of- of our children being beaten -and- and washed with lye. And my uncle tells tell stories of how they were cut and they were washed with bleach to get rid of their fleas and lice. And -um- they were beaten any time they spoke their language or tried practicing their- - their- - their religious beliefs.

Transcription starts at 32:11.
Nathon Breu: So, if you think back to -to- the 80s -um- when I was up -up- at -uh- my res, for example, everything was -run down- run down. All the buildings were run down. The -the- school was like a little shack and what (sic) these casinos now, that they have a beautiful big school, and they're putting it back
-that money back- into the community. So, which -you know- to bring a full circle that's how we see more autonomy of -with- these communities because they have had -that- the funds to -to- do it.
To fight -um- these battles in court as opposed to -uh- again like the Lakota Sioux that don't have the funds that don't have -have- much -uh- out there. So, it goes from community to community. Um- again there's some -some- communities up in -up in- Canada that don't have -have- -uh- have the same autonomy as we do because they don't have the money to -to- fight for their -their- autonomy because that's what it comes down to. I mean- we didn't just get this autonomy. We had -we've had- to fight for it. Um. And suffer severe hardships.

Nathon was a McNair Scholar and an Advanced Opportunity Partnership Fellow. Both programs have similar paths to qualify. You need to be a member of an ethnic or racial group considered underrepresented in graduate education OR a first-generation college student as well as low income. Nathon's mom has a master's degree in clinical psychology from UW-Oshkosh which, from my understanding, makes him ineligible to qualify based on income because you must be a first generation college student AND have high financial need. It seems likely that Nathon qualified based on claims of being Native American.


I was a McNair Scholar back in 1998. I remember the same requirements. But at least at that time they only accepted enrollment in a recognized tribe as proof of being Native. I'm not enrolled, so got in as Latino, Mexican, and all the other requirements. We do know the requirements keep changing. At the time I was in it, they accepted women as an underrepresented group, so there were a number of white women among the several dozen McNair Scholars at my school that year.

Boozhoo, I’m not sure how much proof or information is needed to move someone from “Research Needed” to “Known Frauds” but I believe we are at the edge of the tipping point with Nathon. I have spoken with multiple people about Nathon’s claims and I want to address a few questions that were posed on the thread. I’m not going to use the names of the people who provided the information to me publicly but am open to having a private discussion. #1, regarding Nathon’s dad, Robert Breu is the biological father & has a relationship with Nathon. #2, Nathon’s “Dad” from Lac du Flambeau is Bobby “Bullet” St Germaine who befriended Nathon in his late teens. The two met through ceremonies based on Nathon’s then claims of being Chickasaw. Bobby “adopted” Nathon along the way. Bobby is a nice man, does a lot of work with kids, is from LDF and has lived in the south central Wisconsin area for many years, (none of this is intended to be negative towards Bobby) #3 Nathon’s “Uncle Ginew Makwaba” from Keeseekoose First Nation is actually the uncle of a former romantic partner; #4 Nathon did not attend school in LDF, his description of the old grade school as a ‘shack’ is completely inaccurate. The school was old and repairing/replacing old pipes and systems was not financially sound, but it was far from being a shack. #5 I used the genealogical info provided by Advanced Smite, (double checked family members on Ancestry.com) and then checked the Chickasaw Dawes roll for any surnames on Nathon’s mothers side and found nothing. That’s likely why that claim was abandoned for claims of Ojibwe heritage. Anyway, I have typed this on my phone so forgive any difficulties in reading. I feel it is clear that Nathon and his mother have scammed people for many years, and taken up space not meant for them.

Thank you for providing additional information and context, ojib22. It sounds like Nathon Breu showed up with a false claim and was welcomed by one individual based on it...just like his mentor, Margaret Noodin.

An interesting commonality between Nathon and Margaret is participation in their high school bands. Both played percussion. Margaret would go on to start multiple "Native American" drum groups; in one of which Nathon was an active participant. An actual Native American student at UW-Milwaukee questioned the handling of the big drum by one of these groups and was allegedly reported for harassment to UW-Milwaukee campus police based on the accusations of Margaret and Nathon. Allegedly Margaret and Nathon were unable to provide any evidence of the supposed harassment. Based on Nathon and Margaret's claims, the Native American student was allegedly deterred and/or prevented from attending a class that included Nathon Breu as a student. There is a public Facebook post containing these allegations. Although it's a public post, I'm trying to get permission from the former UW-Milwaukee student before sharing the actual link and screenshot.

The State of Wisconsin has a helpful website for looking up Circuit Court records (which are public under state law): https://wcca.wicourts.gov/. Nathon Breu (note the unique spelling of "Nathon") pled guilty to several misdemeanors and had a felony dismissed from charges entered on 5/4/2020. He accepted a deferred prosecution agreement that appears to have been completed and resulted in the dismissal of the felony. Nathon lists his race as "American Indian or Alaskan Native" which is incredibly distasteful behavior and evidence of the harm done by pretendians. Nathon (a white man) now has his crimes included in "American Indian or Alaskan Native" statistics. This is also interesting in light of the harassment accusations allegedly made by Nathon against the former UW-Milwaukee student.   

Post Attachments: I've attached an article from The Oshkosh Northwestern that was published on 5/15/1992 and lists Nathon Breu as a member of the Omro High School percussion ensemble. The other attachment is from the 1982 Chaska High School yearbook and shows "P 0'Donnell" (Margaret previously went by "Peg/Peggy O'Donnell") in the percussion ensemble.

I'm not sure how NAFPS administrators/moderators make the decision to move from Research Needed to Frauds. Can an administrator or moderator advise on what else is needed?
