well.....the blatant lies are bad enough,.....REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER is the thing that sticks out the most....good work piff.....SHAME ON YOU CHARLES LIGHTWALKER

If he had to register as a sex offender in California, than he probably has to register as one in Spokane. I am getting ready to go for a long weekend, but if anyone wants to contact the Spokane police, go for it. Also, I am getting so tired of these fake Cherokees claiming Metis with a capitol M. Yes, technically, it means mixed, but the mix was specific. And most true Metis are in Canada, with a few in the US. And none were Cherokee. They were Cree and Chippewa.

In 2001 Charles Lightwalker was in Twisp WA and he called himself a channeller - no mention on this page of shamans or Cherokee heritage claims https://web.archive.org/web/20010516235912/http://www.angelfire.com/wa/lightwalker/

Early 2002 web page, he is in Spokane, and beginning the self-shamanization: "Charles has studied with Shaman and Alternative Healers for over 20 years." https://web.archive.org/web/20020206232301/http://www.angelfire.com/wa/lightwalker/

Later that year Serena M. Bats had joined him on the web page https://web.archive.org/web/20021001090159/http://www.angelfire.com/wa/lightwalker/ http://www.medical-intuitives.net/sbats.htm Bats was a married surname, she divorced, changed her last name to LaSol in 2005 Spokane WA, in 2011 she and Charles Lightwalker married.

So than I searched the Washington State RCW (Revised code of washington) and found this:
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9A.44.130

Quote(v) OFFENDERS WHO ARE NEW RESIDENTS OR RETURNING WASHINGTON RESIDENTS. Sex offenders and kidnapping offenders who move to Washington state from another state or a foreign country that are not under the jurisdiction of the state department of corrections, the indeterminate sentence review board, or the state department of social and health services at the time of moving to Washington, must register within three business days of establishing residence or reestablishing residence if the person is a former Washington resident. The duty to register under this subsection applies to sex offenders convicted under the laws of another state or a foreign country, federal or military statutes for offenses committed before, on, or after February 28, 1990, or Washington state for offenses committed before, on, or after February 28, 1990, and to kidnapping offenders convicted under the laws of another state or a foreign country, federal or military statutes, or Washington state for offenses committed before, on, or after July 27, 1997. Sex offenders and kidnapping offenders from other states or a foreign country who, when they move to Washington, are under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections, the indeterminate sentence review board, or the department of social and health services must register within three business days of moving to Washington. The agency that has jurisdiction over the offender shall notify the offender of the registration requirements before the offender moves to Washington.

unless I am misreading this, and I am pretty tired, he should have registered within 3 days of moving to Washington. So, as Piff did, I checked the registry for Spokane County, and nada, zip.

I do believe people change. Even bad people. BUT! The people he works with may wish to know this in case children are invo,ved.

one last thing. The Spokane County website for sex offenders, list this contact info:
