Received a request about him. Claims Blackfoot descent, Community of Christ elder, and to have been taught by Blackfoot elders. Runs sweats in Chicago and Raleigh  North Carolina for non-Natives, also a vision quest for teenagers. Says no charge for ceremony, but at least once he charged $80 per for a medicine wheel seminar.
