He has a number of youtube videos posted. In this one he claims to be an elder for the Western Cherokee of Missouri.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApMJt-6DcdI&feature=relatedThere's a Western Cherokee of
Arkansas and Missouri. That's the notorious Lola Scholl's outfit. And there's been groups split off from it, and dissolved no longer existing groups. Could also be he just left out part of the name.
He doesn't seem old enough to be an elder. He looks to be in his forties. Really he does look like a big Italian wrestler.
And the claims about Sitting Bull's pipe get even crazier. He claims SB carved many pipes and gave them away as gifts while with Buffalo Bill's show. If true, then this one wouldn't be a sacred pipe, just a pipe for smoking or even decorative.
And then it gets really weird, a very mangled version of SB's death and the Wounded Knee massacre. It's creepy to listen to. I think someone Lakota might get pretty damned angry to hear it.
Most of it is vague touchy feely sentiments. There's also strange reference to the Fifth World, which I don't think is part of Cherokee OR Lakota tradition. It's more in southwest tribes and tribes in Mexico.
Oh, and get a load of him going on about extreme sports fulfilling some kind of prophecy and making a pitch to them...

This is at the Coalessence Festival, but there doesn't seem to be anyone around while he's speaking.
The fest was a Nuage gathering.

It seems to be Lakota J2F is speaking at the start, but a Lakota speaker should listen to that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvrMTD5ospY&feature=relatedJ2F is himself mentioned in this thread as a possible associate of a fraud, but not much more.
http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=2578.0;wap2J2F did some ceremony selling with fraud Adam DeArmon AKA Adam Yellowbird, on a Nuage outfit's site.
http://www.internationalspiritualexperience.com/page.php?114So perhaps Carlino's "elder" is J2F, and he's someone with a bit of ancestry who got suckered by both J2F and Lola Scholl's outfit. But that speaks even less well of the "Western Cherokee." Before they were just taking people for enrollment fees. Now they're peddling Nuage nonsense to them.
At a site called Lost Taino Tribe he's been denounced as a fraud, but one must be a member to see the whole post.
