milehighsalute:

https://indianz.substack.com/p/auntie-goes-missing

also found this, which is a good interview

https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2021/04/land-back-tribal-nations-sovereignty-treaties-white-supremacy/

its one of those cases where what this woman says is not crazy.....not at all

its who she claims to be that is crazy

Moved thread. It might be an old story but still needs to be looked at. Esp since she made money off this. Need to know where the money went, how much, and if she will ever give it back. Her Patreon is still up.

And still making money.

She also claimed to have a Native owned business. There's also how racists will use her lie to discredit the issues she claimed to care about. Several university sites still have her posts and interviews up.

Many sharing her names makes research harder. Her claim of a Lakota or Mohawk grandfather actually seems to be an Indonesian. I had an Indonesian student who looked exactly like Thomas Builds the Fire in Smoke Signals. Exactly, like his twin except for short hair.

--- Quote ---Recently a “Pretendian” named Corrine Grey Cloud has admitted to having no ancestry to our Nations of Turtle Island as a result from concerned Women in our Communities who pushed to hold her accountable. Grey Cloud as it is reported comes from a Law Enforcement Family managed to fool “Indian Country” for 8 years. She benefited financially from her fabricated persona where she is a social media influencer recognized by Forbes magazine that allowed her to establish a huge Indigneous Following. When our own Women attempted to hold her accountable they were accused of being toxic which has caused division in our community

It looks like she deleted the original of her Facebook "apology" post, fortunately it is captured here: https://indianz.com/News/2022/01/24/self-proclaimed-auntie-admits-being-wrong-about-tribal-affiliations/

The post includes:


--- Quote ---When we began the journey of assisting one of my grandfathers in piecing family history together after discovering that online paper trails were filled with errors and handwriting was difficult to read, mistakes were made.
--- End quote ---

This doesn't make any sense. Her parents married in 1985, not hundreds of years ago. I believe both her parents are still alive. The relevant grandfather appears to still be alive.

They have access to birth, marriage, divorce, death, census, social, land, military, employment etc. records. Since we are talking about recent generations, there won't be much handwriting to puzzle over. Most everything will be indexed and transcribed.


--- Quote ---I should have been more open and honest about not being enrolled and being a descendant.
--- End quote ---

So she is still claiming heritage.
