Frauds / Re: Jane Ely
« Last post by educatedindian on February 26, 2025, 01:26:46 am »
Received a report about her. I already posted her claimed degrees are either false or bought at diploma mills. The account I have describes outright abuse of followers and patients including targeting wealthy elderly for donations and inheritances, borrowing money, psychological and physical abuse and sex with (though clearly she’s not a doctor) patients. All while claiming to be a Mi'kmaq healer and elder.

I was even given a RCMP report file number on her, 2024-1100800-filed by one of her victims. We need to get hold of that if we can. Do we need to be a Canadian citizen or in Canada to do that? There is a Freedom of Information law in Canada the same as the US.

Most or all of her family history seems to be false:
She claims her family name of Bishop is Mi’kmaq but isn’t.
She also claims her grandfather who trained her (though she falsely claims “Iroquois” elders, not Mi'kmaq) ran away from the Shubenacadie boarding school as a teenager. The school didn't open until he was in his late 20’s.
She claims her grandmother was Dineh and Cherokee. She isn't enrolled in any recognized US or Canadian tribe.
No one else in her family makes these claims.

This site says that Burchett/Jervis passed away.

https://everloved.com/life-of/medicine-cherokee-turtle/memories/

I haven't found another more official obituary. It might be in German, or it might be Jervis making yet more false claims.

Either way, his fraudulent book is still being sold and at least half a dozen fraudulent websites posing as NAFPS are still up. I think we only managed to get a few taken down for posing as us.

LightSong School of 21st Century Shamanism

Jan interviews Paul Ghosthorse, a SunDance Intercessor.

This is the first in a series of interviews with Paul Ghosthorse, where Jan and Paul discuss the template of a Vision Quest- what LightSong’s Telepathic Practicum is based upon. This interview touches on traditional Lakota ways, sacred herbs, and plant medicine.

Paul Sahayda has Austrian heritage. Surnames such as Sahayda, Scabanich, Yusko who settled in Lackawanna, Pennsylvania around 1910. As far as I can see, none of his ancestors identified as Kazakhs.

This shift in identification is just another attempt to claim "shaman" for himself....


He doesn't even know the most basic things about the people he falsely claimed to be part of.

Rusin or Rusyn, or many centuries ago Ruthenian people, are nowhere near Kazakhstan in central Asia or Monglia in east Asia. He's 2,000 to 3,000 miles off.

Rusyn were originally mostly in what's today Ukraine and Belarus, and parts of today's westernmost Russia, even the Rus that became Russia. Today they're also across much of Eastern Europe, as many as a million and a half people. No more than a couple thousand came to the US, a couple hundred each to Canada and Australia as immigrants.

https://lightsong.libsyn.com/jan-interviews-paul-ghosthorse-a-sundance-intercessor

Jan Engels-Smith is a decades long devotee of Leonard Albert Mattern Jr/"Buck Ghosthorse". She does all the fraudulent ceremonies and uses what she's learned as source material for her own operation. She and Paul Sahayda/Ghosthorse say they are spiritual siblings. They are co-creating remixes of the various frauds.

The "Ghosthorse Family" fraud "Sungleska Oyate" continues. Remember that these frauds have stolen actual surnames and cultural terms.

Obituaries show that some members persist with this their entire lives. For instance this from 2022:

Quote
David participated in Native American Ceremonies with Sungleska Oyate

https://www.masoncounty.com/story/2022/01/20/in-memoriam/david-lee-ledbetter/650.html

I know this is the fraud group because he is white and is talking about WA state.

There are second generation members, a 2018 example here:

Quote
In 1992, I was a senior in high school and an activist. For the past year I had been spending my Friday nights learning about Lakota culture and history from an elder named Buck Ghosthorse.

Like!

Continuing; I follow Hopi tribal rules, and only Identify as Moqui. I met a woman at a taco shop in Oregon and kinda overstepped and called her out as Hopi-Moqui, in a nice way.
She was shocked I could tell by observing her in a few short minutes, she vented a bit.
She had tried to join the tribe, but didn’t fit their membership rules somehow. She said So I guess I’m just a Mexican lol.
I always recommend Chicano literature to people on the search, even people of mixed blood from anywhere. The narrative really helps people understand things.
That are not politically correct to talk about.

Keeping on the topic,
Biophotons are more visible to the naked eye, when that eye is subjected to oculocutaneous albinism. My eyes are hazel, in the right light they glow green. People be tripping on that.
My grandma had a Gold Impala, I hope someday to have one myself. My aunt traded it for a firebird lol.
Sometime, I may do a dissertation on Skinwalkers. Utah is loaded with em.

wondering if you are native and of what tribe? i really not sure if non-natives......even tony hillerman.....know how to identify a skinwalker anymore than i can identify a kakaka or a windigo

back to the thought i didnt finish ....while the hopi may not be as private as maybe the jemez or picuris, they will not share their deepest spirituality with the white man....plain and simple

i was always told that "white brother/pahana" caca was just the imagination of a white man anyways

"I do follow the Lakota ways to the best of my abilities and you know why father taught me a lot about the ceremonies as well as some of my uncles"

One of the "uncles" he claims is Wallace Black Elk.

Paul says he has Buck's altar.

Paul has an annoying speaking style when he is in fake mode.

This shift in identification is just another attempt to claim "shaman" for himself.

And Buck Ghosthorse/Leonard Albert Mattern Jr. was not Lakota. Surely Paul knows this. Buck changed his name legally on Oct 5, 1990, Paul changed his name Oct 16, 1990, both in Snohomish county, WA where the cult was based at the time.

Paul was 33 years old at the time of his name change. Buck did not legally adopt him. Paul was not adopted into anything actually Lakota. Buck was a fraud leader of a cult, Paul is the fraud leader of the continuing cult.

So Paul does a pretend disclaimer about his heritage but then continues with his usual "Lakota medicine man" act. He perpetuates the fraud of his "father".

Does anyone have any evidence of wrongdoing at all on Kreal? If not we should move this to Archives, or even delete it. It seems like this thread was started as part of a personal dispute.
