Did some deep digging and the internet provided quite a lot of information about Shore Charnoe.
Shore Charnoe and her partner have been active in the 8 Shields/Art of Mentoring Community for years, and are treated like Elders. She presents herself as a self proclaimed "Medicine Person" and an Indigenous woman. She works as a public speaker, and holds workshops on "Indigenous teachings". She promotes herself as Métis, but no community claims her, nor does she directly address her specific heritage. Her father started a commune in California and had hundreds of followers and his background is quite infamous (below) but her mother's is unknown.
Through her organization, The Circle for Change, she runs workshops that offer teachings such as, "The Principles of Indigenous Medicine", "Journey of a Medicine Person", "Understanding Physical and Spiritual Health from an Indigenous Perspective". But no where does it give a specific tradition, just a sort of pan-Indigenous generality. She asks for payment by donation but then writes, that if you spend $20 on dinner, or $90 dollars on a one hour appointment with a health practitioner, how much would her weekend workshop be worth? SO she insinuates hundreds of dollars.
It seems like pretty much all of her work is with and for non-Indigenous people, and selling them these "Indigenous" teachings.
She also was a part of the Indigenous Peoples' United Nations, whose website is now defunct, but the IPUN and it's members' legitimacy has been questioned in this forum.
______________________________________________________________________
Shore is the daughter of American Donald Hamrick (1935- 2011), a famous founder/leader of the Harbinger Commune (a California commune from the 60's that promoted communal living, public sex and nudity, use of psychedelics, and had 150 followers, now know as Harbin Hot Springs, a new age centre). He had 6 children, and moved up to Canada and changed his name to Zeera Charnoe. There is a lot of information on Hamrick (aka Charnoe) and Harbinger available on the internet, including links at the bottom of this page. There's also some strange accusations of him working for the CIA.
In a message on Charnoe's facebook page from Zee Charnoe, it reads:
- "July, in Aberdeen, Scotland, you entered my life. Thank you for coming. Now, a new home, in the same city, where
we live. Thank you for coming. Have a wonderful birthday sweetheart. Love Dad"
https://www.thecircleforchange.com/ (https://www.thecircleforchange.com/)
Her bio on the website from the organization that she started and now runs workshops though reads like this...
"Program founder Shore Charnoe is a Métis woman who received her Bachelor of Social Work degree from Ryerson University in Partnership with First Nations Technical Institute in Canada in 2017 after more than 20 years of serving as a foster parent, adoptive parent, family and children’s mentor, volunteer for children’s aid societies, and consultant for child welfare organizations.
Shore also holds an interdisciplinary Honors Bachelors degree from the University of Guelph, with an emphasis in philosophy of education, developmental psychology, and environmental science.
Shore founded The Circle for Change in Brantford, Ontario in 2013.
Shore is a high-functioning autistic woman who has personally overcome many physical limitations, enabling her to have a special connection with the children and parents she serves. She is a mother to 11 adopted and biological children and a grandmother to four, and has been a foster parent or mentor to more than 80 children and youth. A number of her adoptive children have fetal alcohol syndrome and come from abusive homes where they were victims of severe abuse, neglect, and trauma."
https://www.youtube.com/wach?v=m0VsRqVUP4Y (https://www.youtube.com/wach?v=m0VsRqVUP4Y)
In the above video Shore shares drum songs from different cultures, speaks about fostering Indigenous children, and makes references to all sorts of different Indigenous cultures and teachings, meanwhile never directly introducing or addressing her own heritage or community.
- Says "One of the places that I have a lot of teachers in is the Anishinaabe tradition", and then starts talking about
Anishinaabe as"we" though she is not Anishinaabe.
- Also "Just so you know, I'm a little bit of a trickster, I've had a lot of coyote teachings over the years, and so we
teach invisibly"... but then have to explain that you're teaching invisibly??
- I did home schooling, out on the land - , but maybe that was
just the Harbinger Commune or elsewhere?

Some of her siblings are: Sky Charnoe, Bryce Card, Lois Cordova, Jill Marie Hamrick (deceased).
She also has a cousin named J Paul Hawthorne who's a genealogist in California who may have more info.

"Just so you know, I'm a little bit of a trickster, I've had a lot of coyote teachings over the years, and so we teach invisibly"
Whoa, that is several red flags right there.
So many frauds make claims like that. "Crazy wisdom", "trickster", "coyote medicine" ... all can be used as an excuse to be abusive, to lie, to not answer direct questions, and to get money for nothing.
-
Her father Donald J Hamrick was born in California. His mother born in Utah, father California. Everyone white in the 1940 census.
Clicking through the Find a Grave memorial links https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=79719022 - that represents quite a bit of genealogy work, I think it is safe to say that she is not a "Métis woman" on her father's side.
Here are the conspiracy/CIA claims https://web.archive.org/web/20170823033149/https://spidercatweb.blog/2016/12/16/harbint-part-1/ - looks like Shore's mother might be named Jennifer. If we can find out her mother's birth name, we might be able to check out her heritage too.
Since no community claims her, that is most important.
Since there already are weird conspiracy claims about her father, I wonder if this thread will eventually become lively.
-
Susan Jennifer Gray Charnoe was married to Zee Charnoe, she promotes Shore's work on her own Facebook page, so I assume she is Shore's mother.

And .... I believe I assumed incorrectly. Don't know Shore's maternal line yet.
-
Yeah, I don't think that is her mother. I think her father had different kids with a few different wives. He does say that she was born in Scotland though on that FB message.
Who knows, it could be true or not that her mother could have Métis heritage, but beyond blood, she's very publically representing herself as a Métis woman but never specifically referencing where she's from, and selling these kind of non-specific Pan-Indigenous teachings, speaking to groups and giving talks as an Indigenous person but referring to all sorts of different teachings from different cultures, and seemingly marketing it all to predominantly non-Indigenous audiences.
Here is the link for her talk, the one I posted above didn't work.

Here is Shore Charnoe's father Donald Hamrick's genalogy from the 1940's census. As you can see he's white as is his parents. I've gone back as far as the 1860's on his father's side Elmer Hamrick. They are all white. I will be posting his fathers side of the family today and will be going as far as the great great grandparents.

Here's Donald Hamrick's father and Shore Charnoe's grandfather Elmer Hamrick. Now, in the 1940 census it says he was born in California, he was not. As you can see from his death records and the 1920 census he was born in Texas. And is white. In this census it says his mother Lillian Hamrick was a widow, she was not, she was divorced. I've also posted a 1910 census with Elmer Hamrick's father George. As you can see it is the same family but a b has been added and the name is Hambrick. In several censuses the census taker had made the same mistake.

Here's Elmer Hamricks mother Lillian Hamrick in the 1910 census a find a grave obit. She had lived a very interesting life and died in 1927. So far we are at the great grandparents and as you can see at the end of this census George Hamrick's mother is living with them Margaret Hamrick. She would be Shore Charnoe's great great grandmother and is also white. I've also added Margaret's husband William H. Hamrick. We are at the 1840's now and all white and almost all from the south.

Now for Lillian Hamrick's parents William and Nancy Foster. I actually went back to all 3rd great grandparents on both sides all born in the 1810s to 1815s. In the 1860's census they don't have race because they only counted the white people. We're at 200 years now for this Shore Charnoe and everyone on her father's side is white. I'll post her mother's side tomorrow.

I know I said I was going to post her mother's side of the family today, but got a little distracted. I promise I will post it in the next day or two.

Gerald McLaren, the elderly white guy posing as Navajo here.
http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=5038.0
He sent a defense of Charnoe:
"It is real life experience that counts, and makes you "Native".
I see you have slandered and hurt some real good people are are doing some real good."
I didn't change that, it's exactly as he wrote it. Which leaves open the question of whether he personally knows or is tied to Charnoe.
The rest of his long email was a rant insisting real NDNs live in the country, no doubt taken from Stereotypes R Us.

Ok, here's a record of Donald Hamrick's marriages and divorces. His first marraige was to Jonna Lee Wagner, Shore Charnoe's mother. They had 5 children, two are dead. His second marriage was to a woman named Hila Zein Charnoe. I don't have a marriage record for them, but I believe they were married in Denmark. I got that information from a family tree that was made public in Ancesty.com. Also in this family tree they have Donald Hamrick marrying 5 days later to Susan Jennifer Gray. I can't find any marriage records for them under Hamrick, Charnoe or Gray. So I suspect maybe they weren't married. What is also strange is his second marriage, in the divorce record the wife's last name is Charnoe, but his last name is still Hamrick. I don't know if Donald Hamrick took his second wife's last name of Charnoe. Piff said she couldn't find no legal name change for Donald hamrick in America or Canada.

Here's Jonna Lee Wagner Hamrick's mother's info on Find a Grave, Lois McCoy Wagner. It has her parents names Of John Robert McCoy and Tabitha F. McCoy including her mother's maiden name of Deweese. Here they are in the 1900 census. Tabitha died in 1907. I also posted Lois McCoy and her family after her mothers death. Her father later married a woman named Abbie. Again, I'm only going to post great grand parents. All the great great grandparents are all born in the 1830s to the 1840s and are all white. Shore Charnoe (probably not her real name) is WHITE.

In 2015 Shore Charnoe claimed she was Lakota in a video. She also claimed Métis on her site http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=4675.msg40909#msg40909
In a 2015 interview https://soundcloud.com/makenobonesaboutit/shore-charnoe-on-make-no-bones-about-it-jun-14-2015 she opens by stating what she says is "my Lakota name". 28 minutes of interview and there is no mention of Métis.

I think Shore Charnoe is her real name. She has a younger sister named Sky Charnoe.
On one of Donald/Zee's obituaries it says that he is survived by his 6 children, perhaps that was the surviving children with Jonna, plus two from Hila Charnoe, (Shore & Sky?).
What makes me think that is that is Jonna and Donald divorced in 69, don't know if Shore is old enough to be from that marriage. Her facebook timeline shows that she was born in 1977. And the other older children all live in the states.
Also the birthday note from her father says that she was born in Scotland, and if him and Hila Charnoe were married in Denmark, then perhaps they were over in Europe at the time and then came to Canada. He was working there for a University in Denmark.
This doc confirms that he was in Scotland in July, '77 presumably when Shore was born.:

When I googled Charnoe Denmark, it linked Zeera P (which I learned stands for polyandry) Charnoe to Denmark From 1971, but then was all over Europe until 1980.
He was indeed a seemingly great mind, though an odd one.
And a lecture on Physiognomy (had to look that one up), in Denmark in Jan, 1971: https://audioboom.com/posts/919736-physiognomy-denmark-jan22-71
Here he states that he's been in Canada since 1980 (in the about my library part):

Diana, you're a genealogy wiz, did you come across any info on Hila? There are some mentions of them living in Peterborough, Ontario, as well so perhaps they met in or moved together to Canada before Denmark?

Just googled Hila Charnoe and found some mentions.
"Hila Charnoe, of Guelph, said many of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren have Aboriginal blood in them, which is why she is so interested in these ceremonies. She said there is an awakening going on in Guelph — churches, service clubs and academics are beginning to pay attention and support Aboriginal people as they find their spiritual way in western culture.
"The networking in this community is amazing," she said. "It's a very interesting time."

It seems like Shore's entire representation of herself as Métis or Lakota, or whoever else she's claimed to be, is based on the Indigenous children that she's fostered over the years.
If so, that's very sad that she uses them to justify her own cultural appropriation and greatly misrepresenting herself to others, and then selling these "Indigenous teachings" to unknowing non-Indigenous people, but also integrating and trying to legitimize herself within Indigenous communities by working for First Nations Technical Institute, and getting her BSW in an Indigenous program.

I listened to all of it. Sounds poetical, but mostly incomprehensible gibberish. Lecture held at:
https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordenfjord_World_University — (Use Google Translate.)
Not a real University in any way. — I heard her mention "Free Energy", probably referring to:

Thanks for the info Yar. You very well could be right. Shore Charnoe looked to be in her mid to late forties to me in all her pictures. She also said to have been a foster mother for over 20 years and claims to be a grandmother. It's possible...?? Something to look into for sure.

Seems like either way, whichever is her mother, she is not who she claims to be.

To add onto everything with Shore.
She is in her 50-60s now.
She had a son who would be in his 40s (she adopted him out)
But also has birthed within the last decade.
She definitely is a great source to mentally and emotionally as well as financially [Childishness removed].
Also any posts I've read seem to forget about her brother Brooke and her sister Skye.
-
Truth with angel numerology, no childish rants allowed.
Firsthand accounts are very valuable. How do you know her? Can you describe your or others experience?
Why does she feel the need to pose as Metis or Lakota and pose as a Native healer? Is it cash or ego or both?
Better to simply say "I've fostered Native kids."
-
"Just so you know, I'm a little bit of a trickster, I've had a lot of coyote teachings over the years, and so we teach invisibly"
Whoa, that is several red flags right there.
So many frauds make claims like that. "Crazy wisdom", "trickster", "coyote medicine" ... all can be used as an excuse to be abusive, to lie, to not answer direct questions, and to get money for nothing.

Here is confirmation that Shore Charnoe is the child of Zeera P. Charnoe (aka Zee Charnoe; aka Donald James Hamrick) and Hila Charnoe, born in Aberdeen, Scotland in the mid-late 1970's. This is a book written by her father Zeera / Donald, and one of his wives.

And as we have confirmed, her father has absolutely no Indigenous heritage in Canada or the US.
Her mother, Hila Charnore is confirmed saying that:
"many of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren have Aboriginal blood in them – which is why she is so interested in these ceremonies. She said there is an awakening going on in Guelph. Churches, service clubs, and academics are beginning to pay attention and support Aboriginal people as they find their spiritual way in western culture."

That all points to both herself and her children (Shore and Sky) not having any "Aboriginal blood" in them, and that the "many of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren" that she refers to are indeed the foster and adoptive children that Shore has taken in and the way that she seems to attempt to legitimize herself as an Indigenous person.
Seems like case closed. Shore Charnoe is a confirmed pretendian.

From Zeera Charnoe's book that he wrote:
-
Some cringey pretendian stuff from Shore:
Drum-making workshops, facilitating talking circles at Indigenous gatherings, taking courses and doing her education in whole programs that are meant for Indigenous students.
