Choose someone else while there is still time; In the Bay area, in 1977,
after he and he groupie of "tuffs" came to a Conference on Native American
Healing, I discovered that he was/is also known as "Rolling Blunder"... hmmm
that may have been 1978. He was in good company however, with another "phony"
by the name of Oh Shinnah Fastwolf, who claimed to be a Cherokee Grandmother,
who did healings with Crystals. HOWEVER, just a couple of years earlier,
she was a "folkie" in the Chicago area, according to C. Fastwolf who doesn't
appreciate his name being used by some fraud. Better to choose someone you
KNOW has stood the test of time ... like Chief Joseph; someone prior to the
'50's when it started to become "cool" to be an Indian... If you really
need contemporary, and much more "real" that R.T., you could even go for
Dennis Banks, if you have several months to gather data. ... Back to Chief
Joseph, or Sarah Winnemucca, Sacajawea, or world famous basket weaver,
DatSoLaLe.

Good luck!
