The Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation is not a state tribe. I don't believe they ever were. I can't find any official  comments from any government agencies or any listing in the NCAI tribal directory. If they're not listed in the NCAI then they're frauds/fakes.

GHP's recognition is another issue. I think the most important thing to remember is that they've lost a lot of traditions and so are more vulnerable to claims like Tlakael's. Tlakael repackaged Euro pagan and Nuage as Aztec/Mexica/Nahua, and this dance is riddled thru with both.

The Elements
First Day: Water
Second Day: Earth....
Third Day: Air....
Fourth Day: Fire...

Maestro Francisco Jimenez Tlakaelel shared a prophecy in which, long ago, all the continents were joined in a big island and all humans shared the same skin color.  As the island drifted to the four directions, the people's color changed to create the four Root Races; Black, Red, White and Yellow....

------
Those four elements are obviously Euro pagan. And the root races idea is originally from Edgar Cayce, not any prophecy. 600 years ago, Euros didn't call themselves white, Africans didn't call themselves Black (that didn't happen until the Black Panthers) and Natives didn't call themselves red. And obviously we're not the color of fire engines anymore than Asians look banana colored. All of those are colonialist imposed labels.

And the dance leader showing off the medicine bundle of Tlakael is pretty strange. Either no one involved knows you are not supposed to do that in almost all traditions, or they don't care or claim a very different belief or practice about it.

This dance took place this weekend. Although, I was invited to attend.. because I should be "open to the beautiful vision of unity"... I had other things to do. And hanging out with at a fake neo-tribal gathering isn't my scene. Seems the Dr. Joe Breton is a follower of this cult and takes his teachings from this Nuage koolaid...

I inquired about the activities that happened from someone who did attend. They held sweats, sang a mix of different traditional songs(probably out of context), they had dancers and drummers... A lot of Celtic, pagan, and other misappropriation things mixed together... There were a little over 100 people in attendance.

This group needs to be watched they are growing in popularity.
