I googled my name the other day to find out I was listed on this site as a fraud. I never claimed to be First nation or a shaman. Posts(from a description of a school I attended) and pictures(one of a peacock feather waving sage smoke) were taken from other web sites not mine. It was made to look like they were my posts. I have never charged any one money to come to the Moonlight Turtle Lodge nor have I made any money claiming to be native or a shaman. I grow organic gardens and started a seed library. I haven't made any money from that either. I have workshops teaching people how to save their seeds because I fear chemical companies are taking over our food source and contaminating the earth and our bodies. The name, "Moonlight Turtle Lodge" came from the fact that the moon was shining directly over the lodge as we sat on the hill after working our white middle age butts off trying to get the gardens started. We don't conduct any native ceremonies or claim that anything we do is in native way. This is not only hurtful to me but also effects the good we can do to get people to learn about growing organic and respecting the earth. They will google my name and see your forum listed first. The information that is posted here should be investigated before defacing people who are just trying to do some good. I would never want to insult or disrespect anyone's spiritual beliefs I work full time as a chef to make money I need to pay my bills. The seed saving and growing organic and marching against Monsanto is all done on my own time because I have to do something. I can't just sit back and allow corporations and our government to desecrate the earth.
I don't know who to talk to to get my name off this site but I implore all of you to help me. Not as a fellow First Nations person but as a fellow human trying to make a difference before I leave this earth.

I googled my name the other day to find out I was here as a fraud. I never have claimed to be native or a shaman. Pictures of peacock feather waving sage appeared (never a post of mine) and also statements from other web sites were shown making it look like they were mine but they weren't. I save seeds and started a seed library (which I have never made $ on) I also conduct seed workshops because I feel it's important for ppl to take their food source back from big ag corps that contaminate our earth and us. This site has made it so when someone googles my name I come up as a fraud. All I want to do is take our food source back and march against Monsanto. Can all these ppl here deny me of my passion to earth because I am white? Please give me my name back so I can continue my work before I leave this earth

Heavy sigh....I thought you were going to post something new. >:( You can't keep post the same thing over and over again. The moderators will consider it spam. And frankly it is spam. If you have anything new to contribute please by all means you're welcome to post. If not stop it.

@Nina Renfrew,
your post is no comment on the issue. Furthermore, you posted more or less the same message three times. We usually just need one post to understand what the poster is on about, and we also do not like issues to be spread out all across the boards in several threads. If there's something you want to discuss with us, pls keep it in one thread and stop spamming. Thx.

Sorry... didn't see it in my posts. Thanks. New to this. Didn't mean to post it more than once. Thought it wasn't going through. Sorry. Thanks for telling me.

So??? Issue hasn't been addressed

You've been on the forum for about a whole hour you whackjob! Lol. People have lives and jobs. Someone will eventually get to you maybe tonight or maybe tomorrow. This is so typical of you white people.

I merged a bunch of posts and had to go in and edit the subject (I don't like tech duty. Obviously it's not my forte).
Nina, your patience would really be appreciated. Myself and the other mods are not available 24/7.
This is taken directly from your Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/moonlightturtlelodge/photos/a.612942115418698.1073741827.612887608757482/784257674953807/?type=1&theater (https://www.facebook.com/moonlightturtlelodge/photos/a.612942115418698.1073741827.612887608757482/784257674953807/?type=1&theater) Please explain the medicine wheel if you're not appropriating. I'll add some screen caps from your facebook page since you were doing clean-up less than a half hour ago attempting to rationalize your claims.

I was not aware that 'Aho' was common vernacular.

aho is a kiowa word ;D
-
All replies to me have been deleted. I can't access them. Would be much appreciated to hear them Thanks
-
They weren't deleted, they were moved to the intro thread created for you. Please stop posting in [unrelated threads].
[edited to indicate this is the right thread to post in. not that it will help.]
-
Introductions go in their own thread, not the other topic you are posting in. Since you were introducing yourself, just in the wrong thread, I created your own intro thread for you, here: http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=4613
And there is the already-existing thread on you, here: http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=4523
Since you have responded in the intro thread, you seem to know how to reply. I am moving these posts there, too. Any more repetitive or off-topic posts in unrelated threads will be deleted.
-
After posting the same text to the wrong thread, repeatedly, after being told it was the wrong thread, now she's reporting her own posts. :o
-
Nina, any more verbal abuse messaged to forum members will be posted publicly.
You may be confused because your posts and the responses from the "People who post in this forum" thread were moved here.
I've already explained this to you.

Glad I brought plenty of popcorn.

:o just shaking my head

Nina, do you even know what the Ghost Dance is?

Nina, do you really thing it's appropriate to compare your DOG to a strong black woman??? Or the fact that you need to shovel snow???

Nina Renshaw-Powers Too bad Hillary has always been loved to hate. I think originally it was her choice to hyphenate her last name. She is well educated, diplomatic and just so well spoken. She doesn't get frazzled in the face of aversion. I love Hillary. Hope she doesn't kill herself early by internalizing. She's a strong black woman.

IMHO, Nina should stay off Facebook!

This popcorn is quite tasty. I washed it down with a delicious and refreshing soda pop. Crisp and delightful, like this strong black woman.

Stop, please stop with the strong black woman! :) :) IMHO, you are doing a disservice to "real" strong black women.

I do believe Does was applying sarcasm. :)
As for Nina, I second that motion - Nina you gotta stop with the medicine circles and your "strong black woman" repetition tic.
Nina, you probably believe that words and intent matters. This is feedback for you: you need to change your ways. Seed saving and growing food is valuable - surely you can do that without being offensive.
As for marching against Monsanto - that doesn't give you a free pass. Nor does being low income. Yes, because you and I are both white, we can get away with being culture vultures and cluelessly rude, because we have white privilege. Instead why not listen and learn? Use the privilege for good. Be a strong white woman who finds humility and keeps listening and changing even while uncomfortable.

Wise words again from you, Piff, and I totally agree.
Yes, I think DDWH was using sarcasm also. Just a little clarification on my comment, when I said "you," I was really referring to Nina (who by the way has taken flight from this forum). Interesting that she would say that she was hesitant about being too open with us and making herself vulnerable, but she goes on Facebook and posts the kind of comments she does.

very typical :-[
