NAFPS Forum

The Lelooska Foundation of Ariel, Washington is active. They own four real estate parcels totaling 796,830.

Artwork of the family continues to sell at high prices.

Don Morse Smith "Chief Lelooska" was the main public performer and carver. His brother Fearon M Smith "Chief Tsungani" has now taken on that role.

Don Smith used various heritage identity claims:

three-quarters Cherokee and one-quarter French-Irish

Cherokee

"Mixed blood" Cherokee heritage

Wiummasgum Clan of the House of Lelooska

grandson of a fierce Apache

grandson of a full-blooded Cherokee

adopted by the Nez Perce

Some images on the forum were lost during the website transition; I'll work on replacing what I can here.

Don Morse Smith "Chief Lelooska" made false claims about his heritage. His extended family continues to do so.

This image described as "Portrait of Lelooska, a Cherokee visitor to the Pendleton Roundup." No one is actually Cherokee in his family.

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.
