She recently registered Hopi Wisdom Teachings, LLC in Kentucky, is active, and is working to disappear info about herself. I'll help research more on her but wanted to make sure to get the ball rolling.
[slightly changed title-Al]
She was born in 1945. Other names include Jeremie Lynne Jackson and Jerri Lynne Harris
Leckron is her most recent married name. Her husband Davis Chal Leckron, he died in 2009. In his obit she is listed as Jerri Harris, so I assume Harris is her birth surname.
As Jeremie Leckron she has the Kentucky nonprofit Sanctuary Community Fellowship & Spiritual Retreat, INC. Her husband Davis Leckron was involved in this also. She is president and ministerial director.

Longtime members already know that some of her teachers are frauds. But for others viewing this thread:
Sun Bear AKA Vincent Laduke, Anishnaabe who did a fake version of Lakota beliefs, set up the Bear Tribe cult of white hippies.
Rolling Thunder was actually John Pope, retired white railroad worker claiming to be "Chickamauga" a common claim of people with distant or invented claims of being Cherokee. He married a Shoshone woman, was not one himself. Led white hippies in a commune based in an old brothel, fooling the likes of the Grateful Dead.
Dan Evahema was an extremely elderly Hopi man used and misrepresented by exploiters.
Banyacya (correct spelling) has also been misused by exploiters, but was strongly against precisely what Leckron and others do. Isn't it bizarre she can't spell her alleged relative and teacher's name?
The Hopi ancestry claims are unclear and need more looking at. But what she teaches obviously is a mangling of claims about unrelated traditions. Very little of what she claims is Hopi or Native actually is. Moved to Frauds.

In a Danville Kentucky 2002 newspaper article about a drum making workshop taught to a the cast of a Daniel Boone themed play - Jeremie Jackson Leckron is "an American Indian traditions instructor who leads those sincerely interested through the ancient ceremony of drumming."
She is described as "a descendant from the Hopi or Southwestern Pueblo Indians of Arizona." Also said to be "well versed in the traditions of many American Indians, including those of the Shawnee".
At least one of her prior students is still allied with her, they bought real estate together recently.
In a Louisville Kentucky 2002 article she is Jeremie Jackson, described as an environmentalist, one of five women depicted in a musical called "Women of the Earth".
When Davis C Leckron incorporated Sanctuary Community Fellowship and Spiritual Retreat Inc. in 2003, she was a member as Jeremie L Jackson. Eventually she became Jeremie Leckron. She is now President of Sanctuary, but it's status is listed as bad.
Her current Hopi Wisdom Teachings, LLC is for profit.
I listened to her "Wisdom Circles" audio here http://hopiwisdomteachings.com/hwt/2018/06/14/round-words/
Summary: use round words not cactus words, use good medicine voice, watch what you say, spirits are always listening, ears are not mouths, blame and judgement is bad.
She is introduced as "recognized Hopi elder and teacher".
Mention by a student Leigh Gaitskill :
Quoten 1990 she went through the Nine Gates Mystery School (www.ninegates.org) program, then went on to study Huna, completed the Fisher Hoffman process, explored Buddhist practices and sat vipassana, and worked with Hopi elder Jeremie Jackson for two years.

Her Great Aunt Tishoma Hoonawu Lolama (Hopi)
http://hopiwisdomteachings.com/hwt/about-grandmother-medicine-song/
I'm an outsider, so keep that in mind. But one theory on how she came up with this is that she grabbed an incorrect version of the surname of a prominent Hopi jeweler / artisan family, added a first name, and put the Hopi word for bear (according to this and other sources https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hoonawu ) in the middle.
She easily could have come across books and articles on Charles Loloma (Charles Loloma – Hopi Modernist https://www.ganoksin.com/article/charles-loloma-hopi-modernist/ )
The Loloma family of Arizona can be seen in census. I don't see any Violet or Tishoma there.
Jeremie was born in 1945, her actual grandmother would have been born around 1905 or so.
I've checked records through familysearch.org and also newspapers.com.
I don't see any records of the surname "Lolama" in Arizona.

Hoonawu Lolama would be a bastardization (due to the misspelling of Loloma) of "Hello Bear".
There is one Lolama on the Hopi rolls, a little girl named Ramona who was born in 1934. I am assuming Lolama was simply a misspelling on her birth and enrollment records.
Tishoma was a
Choctaw man who was involved in a law suit in 1841 regarding land that was entitled to him under the fourteenth article of the treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.

QuoteGrandmother Moon Shadow (Zuni)
This easily could be fully made up. Jeremie would need to give us details on name and credentials - but even then that would not make up for the fact that Jeremie herself is a fraud.
QuoteGrandmother Snowdeer (Olgala Sioux)
There was a man in the 1930s or so, from a tribe other than what she claims here, he was a famous hoop dancer and he used the name "Snow Deer". He was in several adverts for performances. In the 1940s his actual name was listed in a brief society news bit.
But Jeremie could have just made up that name fully too.

On top of all these stolen or invented lineages using famous figures and mangled names and translations, there's these obvious mistakes:
Navajo are definitely NOT Pueblo. Entirely separate people, culture, language an entirely different family. Arrived far later to the area and have long historical conflicts with the Hopi.
Maybe only as far away from the Hopi as Kentucky could they get away with such an obvious mistake. In AZ there'd be laughter and disbelief.
Some consider the Zuni to be Puebloan, some don't. Language is a different family from Puebloan ones.

QuoteGrandmother Jeremie, Hopi Indian elder / teacher is in Djoj with a meeting. For the first time she probably gives a one-off meeting in the Netherlands about the American Indian sacred teachings. The lineage of Grandmother Jeremie is that of the Hopi Bear clan.
She gives this meeting together with Satya Henkes from Rotterdam. Satya is of Dutch origin and Grandmother has trained her and asked to pass on the old traditional lessons here. The language spoken during the meeting is English.
From January 2019, Satya will give these Hopi American circles in Djoj.
"May you Walk in Beauty" touches the essence of the lessons. Grandmother will explain the age-old way of remembering who you are, what your beauty, strength and medicine is. The following circles of circles are part of this tradition:
• The 13 grandmothers
• Vibratory Centers
• Medicine wheel
• 7 sacred directions
• '20 Count '

About Grandmother Jeremie
Grandmother Jeremie is a recognized elder and teacher of the Pueblo Indian nations – Hopi, Zuni and Navajo. Jeremie grew up walking in two worlds – that of the white man and that of "the people" – her family lineage is that of the Hopi Bear Clan. Although educated in the tradition of the white man to a PhD. level as well as being an ordained minister, she believes her real education comes from the apprenticeship she served to several American Indian Elders, including:
Chief Dan Evehema – Hopi
Sun Bear – Chippewa
Grandmother Snowdeer – Oglala Sioux
Jeremie has been given permission by her American Indian teachers to share the wisdom of the old ways through the oral tradition.

QuoteINNER NOMADS PODCAST Afl. 2 | In conversation with Satya Henkes about the value of sacred Native American teachings for the modern life that we live. And vice versa ??
Satya works in her daily life for the municipality of Rotterdam as project / program manager and coach / trainer. The use of your talent or 'original medicine' in this world are processes that are central to her work.
Hopi Indian elder / teacher Grandmother Jeremie taught Satya in the traditional wisdom of the Hopi and asked her to pass on the lessons. The application of this knowledge in daily modern Western life is mostly Satya's interest.

Jeremie L Leckron is the organizer and registered agent.
Her website has expanded.
In an audio clip on her site she says "my biological heritage includes both european anglo saxon (she pronounces it "saxton") and southwestern Hopi Indian" and she speaks of "white mormon ancestry and my Hopi Indian ancestry". She describes a grandmother as "full blooded Hopi".
Although she promises "teachings of the Hopi" at times she speaks as if Hopi people are different from her. Phrases like "to my friends at Hopi" and that she is a "conduit only" mix with her explicit claims of Hopi ancestry and Hopi childhood upbringing.
Leckron says she has a community of over 200 people.
Hello Everyone --
I'm a Unitarian minister serving in Lexington, KY and the organization "Hopi Wisdom Teachings, LLC" wants to use our property. I stumbled across this forum and this post in particular (http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=5229.0). It raised some red flags obviously. I don't want us to be the church that rents out to an organization that is appropriating Hopi rituals. Some initial digging around has made me aware that ripping off indigenous rituals is a profitable business for many...I guess I was naive.
I've reached out to the Hopi tribe and am waiting for their input as well. Any other people/groups you'd recommend reaching out to? Plus, I figured instead of necro-ing the old post, I'd ask if anyone had new information on this?
With gratitude.
It's OK to post in the older threads. Just ignore the weird red notice; that's part of the system software, not our opinion.
Merging threads.
Thanks for this! I'll update this thread when I hear from the Hopi tribe.
Update:
I heard from the Hopi Foundation in Arizona and they raised a red flag. They nudged along my other requests to the tribal government and I also reached out to the Pueblo of Zuni since Leckner claims authority from them as well. I imagine it'll be a while before I hear back anything else, but this thread and the concern from the Hopi Foundation are enough for me.
In speaking with one of Leckner's representatives, they stated: "She has been given authority to draw from all indigenous wisdom to build a bridge with white Americans." A Cherokee colleague of mine nearly had a stroke when I told him this. Anyway, I've started to spread the word to other churches in town.
QuoteIn speaking with one of Leckner's representatives, they stated: "She has been given authority to draw from all indigenous wisdom to build a bridge with white Americand"
Wow! The absolute arrogance of that! Thank you for doing this.
Hello Everyone --
Sorry for the major delay here, last I posted was right before the global pandemic shut everything down! So, sorry for necroing, but I felt it was important to share the final bits of information I had here.
It was interesting to navigate the network of tribal governments, but ultimately each one has an office that handles, in part, cultural inquiries. Each one (Hopie and Pueblo of Zuni) had no record of Jeremie Leckron having the authority to do this.
I don't see what else I can do, though I will continue to inform other colleagues. In searching for her group, this thread pops up -- so that's something and I feel that's important, just so people can learn there's several red flags.
One piece that I do need to follow up on is that even the Kentucky Native American Heritage Commission was unclear about the legitimacy of Hopi Wisdom Teachings and Jeremie Leckner. Which is absolutely shocking...since this is Shawnee, Adena, and Cherokee land. I'll certainly let them know and I hope they settle that ambiguity.
State commissions or other organizations claiming to be Native often are not, or have dubious members. There are no standards in most states for state recognition Offhand I don't know about Kentucky. But most Cherokee would start by stating there are only three legitimate Cherokee tribes, CNO, Keetowah, and Eastern Band. Anyone claiming to be Cherokee who is not of those three should be looked at more closely.

She was born Jerri Lynn Jackson, 1943, Los Angeles county CA.
Parents George Samuel Jackson and Jayne (Goodjohn) Jackson. Their memorials https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/52721990/george-samuel-jackson https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/52722097/jayne-jackson include obits, the obits have differing surnames for Jeri/Jerri dependent on her married surname at the time.
The memorials link back through several generations of her ancestors.
Part of her heritage claim:
Quotemy maternal Grandmother. .... She was adopted into the family of a Mormon Missionary when she was around age 7 or 8. Her name in Hopi as I understand it was Komokpu Korani (Violet Small Owl, which could also translate to mean Pigmy owl,). Her lineage is from 3rd Mesa, Old Oraibi, Arizona and the clan name is either Lolama or Honau. Recently, I went back to Hopi in search of any remaining family members but was unsuccessful in finding living relatives.
Here is her actual maternal grandmother
Violet (Spiers) Goodjohn https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/224492493/violet-goodjohn - a white Mormon woman of Scottish and English descent.
As for the claim that Violet was adopted by Mormon missionaries at around age 7, this is also proven untrue by the fact that she is in successive census with her white Mormon family, including when she was very young.
She also claims a:

I listened to " A Message for the Tribal Elders, Grandmother Medicine Song extends her heart and hand to the Grandmothers and Grandfathers of the Hopi and other Tribal Nations." She says she is of Hopi lineage, 3rd mesa. She asks for forgiveness for the mistakes of her white ancestors. She says she is following her vision of building bridges between people.
She says that any Hopi or anyone else of other tribal nations who feel she is doing something incorrect should "please feel free to reach out to me". Audio here: https://hopiwisdomteachings.com/ My personal impression of her message is that she is performing for her white non-Native followers.

Violet (Speirs) Goodjohn is very well documented throughout her life. She is not a mysterious figure. Diana has the crucial census here.
Census, obituary, photos, and over 100 newspaper articles document her life. Violet was an active civic worker in Tooele, Utah. High school plays, school elections, Latter Day Saints ward activities, dramatic readings, women's clubs, historian, city councilman, county Red Cross chairman, a Democratic women's club ........ so much can be found through newspapers.com. After she died there were various memorials and declarations made to honor her.
Even as recent as 2003 her name has been in newspapers, in this case as part of extended family legal trust.
Violet's ancestors are also documented. Considered pioneers, prominent Latter Day Saints.
As one of just many examples, here is her paternal grandfather George Speirs (born in Scotland) described:
QuoteHe was President of the High Priest quorum and a leading figure in the Seventy Quorum. Then he was honored with the crowning glory of Patriarch of Tooele Stake. He gave 83 blessings, the last of which was given four days before his death which occurred December 19, 1919 at the age of 93.
QuoteGreat Aunt, Tish (1/2 Hopi 1/2 Anglo)
This is Jeremie Leckron's claim about Emily "Tish" (Speirs) Staples, but again this is a very well documented woman. Just like her sister Violet, she was very active in civic matters. Obit, photos, census, newspaper articles, and other records detail her life.
One of many examples, this from The Transcript Bulletin 28 Mar 1958:
QuoteAffectionately called 'Tish 'by most everyone, she is a native of Tooele. She is a graduate from Tooele high school and the University of Utah, obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree at University of Utah in 1939. She is at present time working for a Master of Arts degree at the Utah State University. 'Tish' has continuously served as a teacher in the Tooele County schools since 1923.
Some details on how this identification was made:
Jeremie Leckron states she was born in 1943, Glendale CA. She says she has Mormon family ancestry.
People search records supply her birth month and day. Also a list of past surnames.
She has used the name Jeremie Jackson-Leckron for her "Hopi elder" performances. In her most recent husband's obituary she is named Jeri Harris at the time of their marriage. Sometimes she uses the middle initial L.
Her indexed birth record, including her mother's maiden name, can be found on Family Search. Same birth date, same birthplace - Jerri Lynn Jackson.
Through public records, a chronology can be worked up, including through several surname and ultimately first name change.
Both sides of her family can then easily be looked over. She claims Hopi maternal lineage through "Violet" and "Tish". These names are reflected in her actual maternal line, both white Mormon women.
She is seen in the 1960 Utah Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Church Census Record, accessed through Family Search - along with her parents and four siblings.
---------
In 2001 she turns up in Kentucky news and event listings as Jeremie Jackson-Leckron, "Unity lay Minister and Hopi Elder".

QuoteThe desire to create a French-speaking community around the Hopi teachings comes from the desire to share the knowledge, wisdom and practices received by Grandmother Medicine Song and Satya. This community aims to bring together those who wish to learn and live according to the Hopis philosophy.

QuoteI reached out to the Hopi Foundation in Arizona as well as the Hopi and Pueblo of Zuni tribal governments to inquire about Jeremie Leckron (AKA Grandmother Medicine Song) and her claims. Every organization said they could find no record of her and that such claims in Kentucky were not only suspicious but obviously appropriating indigenous practices.

Obituary for Jeremie Leckron
An obituary is not available at this time for Jeremie Leckron. We welcome you to provide your thoughts and memories on our Tribute Wall.
Hello Everyone,
I own the "Dharmaoccurs.com" post and am letting that website lapse for a bit. I also received a postcard from someone some time ago letting me know Jeremie Leckron died and they also asked me to take down the post. I've not made it a priority, but I also think it lines up fine with letting the site lapse soon.
She obviously cannot continue her appropriative, fraudulent, and damaging teachings anymore, but I know someone else has been tasked with continuing her work as her successor. Or something. Their website is still active and includes this:
"In January 2025, Grandmother transitioned to the Spirit World at the age of 81. Though her physical presence is no longer with us, her spirit and teachings continue to inspire us deeply. Out of respect for her family's wishes, we have removed her name and media from our website, honoring the sacredness of her legacy. Yet, her wisdom remains woven into the very fabric of everything we do. Her legacy lives on in the community she nurtured and the teachings she shared."
The most relevant information from what I posted is quoted above, from when I reached out to the Hopi and Pueblo of Zuni tribal governments. I also talked with Kentucky Native American Heritage Commission and some local indigenous activists here in Lexington. I can affirm those conversations all pointed to Hopi Wisdom Teachings being a fraud and, unless something has changed drastically, it still is.
Wishing you all well and grateful of the continued work of this forum.

Hopi Wisdom Teachings is more than a name—it's a symbol of peace and the Path of the Peaceful Way. While we don't claim Hopi identity or culture, we deeply resonate with the values and principles of their worldview. For us, ancestral wisdom is a guiding light, illuminating a way of life that prioritizes balance, kindness, interconnectedness, and the sacredness of all beings. It's a way of walking gently on this Earth, with purpose and compassion.
My boldings in the quote. About Barbara Lee Black: https://hopiwisdomteachings.com/meet-your-guides/
QuoteBarbara Lee Black
Barbara Lee Black's journey with Hopi Wisdom Teachings is a story of transformation, creativity, and dedication to preserving ancient wisdom for modern times. In 2015, she met a beloved elder we called Grandmother, a mentor and Jungian analyst whose teachings deeply resonated with Lee's spiritual philosophy and art practice. This connection led to a seven-year apprenticeship, during which Lee immersed herself in ancestral wisdom and practices, as well as deepening her interest in Jungian dreamwork and psychology.
Together, Lee and Grandmother co-founded Hopi Wisdom Teachings, a community dedicated to sharing ageless wisdom that fosters harmony, balance, and Right Relationship with oneself, others, and Mother Earth. Lee played a vital role in building the platform, organizing Wisdom Circles, creating educational content, and recording Grandmother's teachings. Her meticulous efforts have resulted in a rich archive of transformative insights that continue to guide Lee's art practice and teachings. Today, Hopi Wisdom Teachings is lovingly carried forward by Lee, who continues to nurture the community and uphold the vision that she and Grandmother shared.
In addition to her contributions at Hopi Wisdom Teachings, Lee is an accomplished artist, visual storyteller, dream worker, and educator. She holds a Master of Arts degree and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art. Her artistic journey has earned her two Artist Fellowship Awards from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, and her works have been exhibited regionally and nationally. Lee also served as an instructor of Digital Art and Photography at the University of Alabama from 2009 to 2018.
Her creative work reflects the interconnectedness of life and the spiritual essence of the physical world, inspiring others to embrace their unique gifts and explore the transformative power of their imagining mind. Additionally, Lee has completed several residential trainings with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés Réyes at the Institute for Archetypal and Cross-Cultural studies, deepening her passion and knowledge in the transformative power of storytelling, archetypal and ancestral wisdom, and spiritual empowerment.
Through her work, Lee continues to share the timeless teachings that have shaped her journey. She invites you to step into the sacred circle, rediscover your original medicine, and weave your unique strand into the sacred web of life.
As can be seen from my previous posts, the site now distances itself from «Grandmother», not even naming her, but still claims to "resonate":
QuoteWhile we don't claim Hopi identity or culture, we deeply resonate with the values and principles of their worldview.
I have been looking for what more they claim about the Hopi «worldview», etc.

QuoteA WORD ABOUT WHO WE ARE
Before we go further, a word about who we are.
We are not Hopi. The name Hopi Wisdom Teachings reflects a deep resonance with the Hopi worldview — its values of peace, balance, harmony, and interconnectedness — not a claim to speak for the Hopi people or own their tradition.

QuoteHOPI AS A SYMBOL OF PEACE
Crafted by Lee Black: Weaving Wisdom for Your Journey
The Peaceful People
The word "Hopi" carries profound meaning, deeply rooted in the concept of peace. Often referred to as the "Peaceful People" or "People of Peace," the Hopi embody a philosophy that transcends mere words. For the Hopi, peace is not a passive state but an active practice—a way of living in balance and harmony with all beings, including humans, animals, plants, and Mother Earth. This worldview, known as the Path of the Peaceful Way, serves as a guiding light for those seeking to live in right relationship with the sacred web of life.
[...]
The Hopi Philosophy of Peace
The Hopi philosophy is built on the foundation of interconnectedness and balance. Their teachings emphasize the importance of living in harmony with the cycles of nature, embracing change, and honoring the sacredness of all beings. Peace, in the Hopi worldview, is not simply the absence of conflict—it is a dynamic state of balance that requires mindfulness, gratitude, and respect for all life.
The Hopi people believe that peace begins within. It is cultivated through intentional actions, such as showing kindness, practicing gratitude, and living in right relationship with the Earth. This philosophy is reflected in their ceremonies, which are acts of gratitude and reverence for life. For the Hopi, peace is a way of being—a commitment to living in harmony with the sacred web of life.
Lessons for the Modern World
The Hopi understanding of peace offers timeless lessons for our contemporary world, which is often marked by environmental crises, social fragmentation, and spiritual disconnection. Their teachings remind us that peace is not something external to be achieved—it is a practice that begins within each of us.
By embracing the Hopi principles of balance, respect, and harmony, we can transform our relationships with ourselves, others, and the Earth. The Hopi philosophy challenges us to ask: Are we living in balance? Are we walking in right relationship? Are we honoring the sacredness of all beings?
Walking the Path of the Peaceful Way
The Hopi philosophy invites us to walk the Path of the Peaceful Way, a journey of humility, gratitude, and love. It is a path about intention—consciously choosing to live in a way that honors the interconnectedness of all life. It is a call to action, urging us to take small, meaningful steps toward a more peaceful and sustainable world.
As we navigate the complexities of modern life, the Hopi worldview provides a framework for addressing challenges with grace and wisdom. It teaches us that peace is not a destination but a way of being—a practice of living in balance with the sacred web of life.
[...]
A Symbol of Hope
The Hopi people remind us that peace is possible, even in the face of adversity. Their teachings serve as a beacon, guiding us toward a more conscious, compassionate, and harmonious world. By walking the Path of the Peaceful Way, we can honor the sacred web of life and create ripples of transformation that inspire others to do the same.
This page contains some ten claims about the Hopi and ceremony (which I will not quote):
https://hopiwisdomteachings.com/living-a-ceremonial-life-honoring-the-sacred-in-everyday-actions/
All of the above is very general, very vague. No references, no articles, no books, no links, no names. Everything is generalized New Age self-improvement wellness messages that uses Indigenous appropriation-like terms as inspirational language.
Everyone involved needs to stop. Close down the business.
The company name "Hopi Wisdom Teachings" is entirely false. That name is on all their very extensive branding.
One of the lead women, Heather Walize, has this on her own website:

Formed by sacred teachings Guided by wisdom keepers
Jeremi Rise has walked a path of deep and beautiful teachings. For eight years, he received guidance from Grandmother Medicine Song — a wisdom keeper of Hopi tradition as she remembered and lived it.
He is currently in a seven-year apprenticeship with Satya Henkes, who carries and shares these teachings. The wisdom Jeremi carries is rooted in the tradition of the Hopi and other Native tribes. With the blessing of Grandmother Medicine Song and Satya, Jeremi now shares sacred stories and original songs inspired by these teachings — always with care and respect.

QuoteThis sacred Hopi teachings are passed on to me and are shared with the permission of Grandmother Medicine Song and Elder Satya Henkes, Wisdom Singer.
The main teachings for 2026 are the Vibratory Centers. They are vibrating energy centers of the human being. They are connected to the different worlds known to the Hopi.
The teachings are about activating these energy centers through: memory (dreaming) and the relationship with a number of resources from the animal, color, stone and plant world. The energy centers represent someone's unique personal strength and authenticity. Also called original medicine.
