Kiesha Crowther: Alternative Lifestyles of the Rich and Fraudulent

This video documents the controversy that is going on in the Native American community over Kiesha Crowther's false statement that she is the shaman of the "Sioux and Salish tribe" and the money she has been making from this false claim.

I am mirroring this video so that non-Indian people can have some understanding as to the pain that pretenders like Kiesha Crowther cause native people.

I want non-Indians to understand that only way to stop the exploitation of indigenous peoples' spirituality is for people to STOP paying ANY money for it. Authentic spiritual leaders would never charge money. Ceremonies are not open to anyone who can pay a price - our spirituality is much too sacred for that.

If you have respect and compassion for the indigenous peoples of this land, then allow us to be the guardians of the spirituality that our ancestors developed. Do not support Kiesha Crowther and others like her who exploit our spiritual practices for profit.

Native people and our true friends who want to take action, can do several things:

@waapshke, no one dug up any shit on Kiesha Crowther. That dumbass put it out there herself. She's the one who posted all over the net and youtube about being Indian. She's the one who LIED about being from the Flathead Tribe, she's the one who LIED about being shaman for their Tribe, she's the one who LIED about Elders contacting her at age 30 to become their shaman, she's the one who LIED about a full-blooded Indian Grandmother...you get the picture. So stop with the white whine. Get over it.

Thank you for this video.

Why don't the people she made false claims to, to trick them into paying for her expertise, start a class action case against her? If there is proof she broke the law, let's hold her responsible.

I see she made a video today. More like a promo for her new book which is probally not selling as expected. She apoligizes for her lies and sums it up as mistakes. Also going to donate a percentage of book profits to Native Tribes to make up for her lies. Trying to get the lawsuits of her back I suppose. I doubt much will make it to the tribes. Travelling the world first class to exotic luxury places isn't cheap.

I agree. I urge anyone to reconsider Keisha. Sure the message is great and sounds nice but surley at a profit. Has anyone remembered who they are? How is that helping the planet? Cons always having something appealing or good to lure in guilable people. Desperate people who looking for any answers anyone can give them.

Thank you for making this availale she is not speaking from the heart. i for one knew that because I have a little nowledge of Native americans but would not dream of parading this all over the world I have seen her vids and she is false as they come when will people realise that fair words are not everything but long held honesty and the love of the creator

@caste2510, well I'm glad you saw the light about that fraud and grifter Kiesha Crowther. And errrrm, of course Kiesha Crowthers crimes against Native Americans doesn't affect you, you white dumb ass. And maybe or maybe not you're newage I don't know nor do I care, but I still don't buy your hippy dippy unity crap. It sounds like your typical white privilege as in I know what's best for you poor Natives. Please keep your vapid and odious opinions to your self.

PS. I'm still not your friend.

Money is just an illusion.You can buy food or other things in the shop or travel or what ever and that's it.The Red Kachina will change that, so i hope she bought enough food for the coming time, cuz you can't eat money.Like what she said in one of her vids, when you're not with Mother Earth in your heart, Mother Earth will get rid of you.I hope she understand what she is telling to the other people.It is not us to decide if she is a fraud, but let Karma decide.

[caste2510]

@ndnguest well i agree she seems to be more interessted in money but... does it affect me? no! its errm... im not new age. you dont know what new age is im afraid

[ndnguest]

@N1k1mon, what in the hell are you babbling about? Casinos, Tribal authority, gangsters, Mexican pretenders??? How is this relavant to us Indians who oppose this fraudulent thief and liar Kiesha Crowther?

Gaawd! What is it about Indians that seems to attract every WHITE WANNABE NUTJOB? Why do they all claim part Native American to justify their ridiculous and racist rants. I give up, you vapid and odious white people are exhauusting! N1k1mon do you have any self awareness? Ojibwe delete N1k.
