Does anyone know how to add this BarbaraJeanCanaway aka Medicine Bear Woman to
the list of wannabes?
Unfortunately, I know her as she used to attend some of our ceremonies until she
wasn't allowed to do what she wanted. She hasn't been back in several years
She bought a Chanupa and now claims to be a Pipe Carrier and "healer" . She
reportedly lied to a Mohawk Elder about how she obtained it saying someone else
passed it to her

I've already written to "Barbara @ The Reiki Healing Center" telling her that
BJ is a fake

Moving to Frauds. She's one of the Bear Tribe people, possibly also a franchisee of Twyla Nitsche.

There's also a Yvonne Johnson, a Cree woman doing time in Canada for murder who also goes by the name, who wrote a book about her life. Totally unrelated.
