QuoteA Message from Wa-Na-Nee-Che
The Human Circle of Life aims to help individuals connect with their spiritual selves.

There are tools I will share that can help you find your true pathway in life. I am willing to share these tools with anyone interested in using them to help them find balance in life.

Today, humans have walked away from their spirit and have allowed their brains to be ruled by religions, governments, and society. If you are ready to take your life back, I am here.

The tools I use were shown to me in vision, and I was told to share them with all humans who want to learn how to connect with their Spirit, Mind and Body.

QuoteMission Statement
The indigenous people of America once lived in harmony with one another by practising balance and fostering oneness within themselves, with nature, and with the Creator.
For the past 525 years, they have endured pain, suffering, and humiliation at the hands of a cruel and indifferent society. The spiritual leaders and elders have suffered the most. Today, they continue to face extermination, and their invaluable knowledge may soon vanish forever.
With your help, we can preserve a way of life known as the old ways. The Human Circle of Life can assist in restoring our understanding of what is necessary to heal ourselves and bring balance back to Mother Earth.
The knowledge of the old ways is slowly disappearing, and we need your help to preserve it. The old ways are for everyone, and it will be the responsibility of the Human Circle of Life to teach all who wish to learn.
The Human Circle of Life has been established to convey a message of peace and harmony. It aims to share knowledge with those who wish to return to their true path in life and reconnect with their life force energy. The initiative seeks to educate and promote a genuine understanding of spirit, mind, and body, which belongs to all people of the Earth. Everything that was forgotten can be renewed through your assistance; we can revive the message of the Old Ways.

Just for the record: Wananeeche or Wa-na-nee-che (WNNC) is discussed in this topic, too:

He is still very active in the U.K., now through these venues:

Just for the record: If anyone stumbles upon this topic, the WaNaNeeChe or WNNC mentioned several times in this topic has his own topic:

We can read in there that his real name is Dennis Renault or Rennault.

In this very long article the TAAF delivers the most devastating debunking I have ever seen:

QuoteLumbee Genealogies and info
You can find on this page the Lumbee Petition for Federal acknowledgement and genealogies of Lumbee persons of interest.

There are about 50 downloads to support the TAAF's claims.

I searched the forum for information about Lumbees, and they are mentioned in about 50 topics. This topic is about Lumbees:

What rolls down here is about Theodore C. Van Alst:

QuoteFor this pretendian blogpost, we will look at how TVA, an avowed expert in American Indian Studies, misled a Portland State University hiring committee with their false claims to American Indian ancestry. This is important, since the candidate and their false claims inform their scholarly output, academic ethics and integrity, and the potential pedagogy they employ in the classroom; All of which compromise the ethical standards of university community and are harmful to legitimate American Indian students and communities who interact with the university. With that, we appreciate the efforts of former students and subordinates of Dr. Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr., (aka TVA) who submitted some of the information included in this post.

It's excellent. One of my favourite spots on the Internet. I have linked to posts in there several times here in the NAFPS forum.

There is no Facebook group, only a FB page that one can "follow". No new posts since 2019: https://www.facebook.com/Rationalwiki

Tribal Alliance Against Frauds (TAAF) released a 70-page report on the claims made by Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr. and his daughter, Emily C. Van Alst. I'm not going to lay everything out in a post but will instead direct people to the report.

The report is available at this link:
https://tribalallianceagainstfrauds.org/van-alst

In my opinion, there is ample evidence of the harm done by both Theodore Van Alst and Emily Van Alst. While I am generally sympathetic to second generation pretendians, Emily Van Alst has expanded upon the false claims of her father and profited from it.

Theodore Van Alst and Emily Van Alst have claimed to be members of the Mackinac Bands of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians, Inc. which is a Corporation Posing as an Indigenous Nation (CPAIN). The Mackinac Bands of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians, Inc. website claims to require documented lineal descent from one the seven historical bands: https://www.mackinacbands.org/enrollment. The TAAF report (page 11) lays out why this isn't true for Theodore Van Alst and Emily Van Alst. It isn't even consistent with their earlier claims of descent from other tribes.

TAAF was incredibly thorough.

Long article with much else, you have to read to the bottom of the page to gather all the"Mardi Gras Indians" stuff.

"Don Sly" is still active on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/don.sly.33/

There are lots of photos of him in Plains dressing. Seems many of them are from another Facebook place:

https://www.facebook.com/Soaringeaglesingers [Native medicine drum group.]

Both FB places link to: http://aquidneckindiancouncil.org/

I moved the topic. Let us list any and all FB pages, esp. those filled with ridiculous stereotypical AI slop, falsely claiming to be Native.

If the page is run by someone non-Native who simply has an interest in the culture or issues, they should not be listed. But commercial pages esp. there to promote a business selling knockoffs of Natives arts and crafts certainly belongs on this list.
