One of Thomas Robert Wiggers aka Thomas Whitefeather's top devotees says he is now in Michigan and "he needs to do business and he needs funds to do what he has to do". She is selling beadwork to help fund him, she requests donations of $50 to "help the Chief".

More from that devotee about him: "he teaches of the original original earth law I got two worlds I'm dealing with the evil Corporation and the original law that was supposed to be Meant For Us".

His own posts are also often difficult to decipher:

Quotealso some Iroquois elders said that if i walked out there in so called new york they will say that all of the east coast belongs to the Cheyenne so i did and they did, so once again the defacto corporation has no say

I'm continuing to add posts on Thomas Robert Wiggers aka Thomas Whitefeather because ideally anyone searching for information on him can read through here. This forum is the top place online on him.

In Washington state he has law enforcement charges about every five months.

More social media comments on Thomas Whitefeather:

QuoteThis dude was kicked off our Rez two years ago during our fire relief work and was told not to come back brought to the bus station by a few of our river warriors .

QuoteHe's creepy.... he tried to give me dried out tree roots and called it Xast Xast..... they we just tree roots.

QuoteHe's been making his way through the valley, stopping in at local businesses (that are our friends) making statements. He was at the Peace Tree Ceremony in Cashmere last month making a speech & handing out medicines. I said nope.
He was here during the wildfire recovery efforts & on the Colville reservation during 2020/2021 & was escorted from there.

His women devotees sound cultic.

After several news items about Paul McAuley's deportation from Peru, and protests against it, this happened in 2019:

There is another thread with the same name, including references to 'Mr. Tate':

Quote from: KellyBrown on September 19, 2026, 12:28:52 AM... she also claims she is a minister on her facebook page.

Where will that be? There seem to be hundreds of 'Kathleen Gardner' on Facebook. I found:

https://www.facebook.com/shaunasay.whitefeather [Shaunasay Whitefeather (Gardner)] [No Posts Available]

https://www.facebook.com/ShaunaSayGardner [Kathleen Franklin Gardner] [Only one Public Post: September 16, 2015]
Married to Scott Gardner Since August 11, 2012
https://www.facebook.com/scottga [Scott Gardner (Creators Raven)] [Last public posts October, 2018]

Kathleen Franklin Gardner, Kathleen Gardner, ShaunaSay or whatever now claims she is a Feather Foot or rather Kadaitcha. Again much like Scott, neither were welcomed into any indigenous mob, and neither have ever been trained to be a Feather Foot. It seems she steals whatever culture she can from wherever she can, she also claims she is a minister on her facebook page. She knows nothing of the Cherokee people, she made that very clear and obvious.

She also told everyone over here in australia that she could not return to america because Trump removed her nativity. Then soon as scott had passed it was suddenly ok for her to return to the USA.

She is definitely an individual that others should stay clear of.

His response on Facebook to a request for a Salish language teacher in Washington state:

We know he is not licensed in Washington state as an attorney. And he certainly is not a law professor.

Is he a licensed "child psychologist" in Washington state? No: https://wahelms.my.site.com/s/license-search

QuoteIt is unlawful for any person to whom this chapter applies to represent himself or herself to be a psychologist or a licensed psychological associate without first obtaining a license as provided in this chapter

https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=18.83&full=true

Remember to check both of his names Thomas Robert Wiggers and Thomas Whitefeather.

Why does he claim he is a "child psychologist"? That false claim is very creepy.

Not legal to practice law without a license in my state. (Washington):


Legal Penalties and ConsequencesWashington imposes both civil and criminal penalties on people who break these rules:Gross Misdemeanor: A first-time violation of unlicensed practice is a gross misdemeanor.Class C Felony: Any subsequent or repeated violation is elevated to a class C felony.Daily Fines: Under RCW 18.130.190, the state can impose civil fines of up to $1,000 per day for each day of unlicensed practice.

Some more negative reviews of him and to him on social media:

"I'm tired of people getting hurt for his teachings."

"No more of this person. You give him too much power"

"Dr Thomas Whitefeather is a charlatan who only likes to fight and disrespect women"

"You're not any of these things that you say you are, and now your lies are affecting more than just me"

"How do you call yourself a child psychologist or a lawyer yet you never got a degree?"

Recently someone asked "Hi guys, wanting to connect and reach out to some Native brothers and sisters who are lawyers or anybody involved in land back deals/treaties or anything closely related" and a supporter recommended TRW/Thomas Whitefeather. TRW was tagged in, he responded with details as to how to contact him.

So, he is still active, still grifting.

He may still be in Washington state. He is not an attorney, he is not licensed to practice law in Washington state.

Check to see if he is a licensed legal professional in Washington state https://www.mywsba.org/PersonifyEbusiness/Default.aspx?TabID=1536 - he is not listed under either of his names.

Yet another comment to him on social media:

"How do you respect your mother if you called my sister a 'f@cking b@tch"? She let you stay in her home and on principle you violated everything that you say you are.."

https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-cultural-or-ceremonial-benefits-of-being-socially-adopted-into-a-Native-American-tribe/answer/Al-Carroll-17
What are the cultural or ceremonial benefits of being socially adopted into a Native American tribe?

Tribes generally do not adopt. People adopt. Individuals or families adopt. There were a few famous cases of celebrities being adopted as adults, and media insisted on repeating 19th century notions of tribes adopting whites.

Johnny Depp was adopted in by Ladonna Harris. She seemed to believe his turn in Lone Ranger was worthy of doing this. Most other Natives disagreed, to put it mildly. The media was filled with the usual misinformation.

Kevin Costner was falsely reported as adopted by the Lakota. No, they made him an honorary member of the tribe, not the same thing at all. Albert White Hat did adopt him into his family.

Obama was adopted by a Crow family for his support of Native causes and issues. Again, media outlets kept falsely claiming he was adopted by the tribe.

More often there are false claims made by New Age imposters. We have seen a lot of them at NAFPS. White imposters claiming adoption makes it OK for them to use and abuse traditional ceremony. Even when there was an actual family adoption as adults, every tribe that I know of explicitly says:

ADOPTION GIVES NO SPECIAL RIGHTS, ESP. NOT ANY RIGHT TO CEREMONY OR TO BE A MEDICINE PERSON.

So these are just some of those falsely claiming rights to ceremony that we have investigated. They are widely condemned as spiritual frauds esp. by the tribes named.
