Bicknell has changed how she refers to Leonard Mattern/Buck Ghosthorse:

QuoteShe also acknowledges the complex legacy of Buck Ghost Horse, who played a significant role in her early ceremonial life. While he was a powerful and transformative teacher, it has since come to light that he was not of Lakota ancestry as once believed. Sarah holds both the real impact of his teachings and the responsibility to walk in truth, honoring the lineages he claimed with greater care and clarity now.

Bicknell needs to state clearly that she learned from a manipulative con artist that had been active in the KKK.

Bicknell and Vicki Ghost Horse do events together: https://sarahmacleanbicknell.com/wallace-black-elk-book-study-group/

QuoteThroughout the 1990s, Sarah and Vicki experienced countless unforgettable moments with Wallace Black Elk, whom they embraced as a member of their Sundance family, known as Sungleska Oyate.

This particular "Sungleska Oyate" is a nonprofit corporation in Washington state. Run by followers of the fraud Mattern/Ghosthorse.

QuoteThis Sunday,  November 30, 2025 at 11am, we welcome Paul Ghosthorse, A Lakota Chief of a Sundance in Washington, which he inherited from his father 16 years ago, and a professional cellist, which he might bring. He will be speaking about:
"How the Lakota Traditional Way of Life Supports and Nurtures Spiritual Growth and Development."

Paul Sahayda / Paul Ghosthorse is described as a "Lakota lineage holder" in various posts on Facebook.

He is not Lakota. Nor was his "father" Leonard Albert Mattern/Buck Ghosthorse http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=3760.0

"inherited from his father 16 years ago" 16 years ago was 2009. Leonard Mattern died in 2007.

King is one of the biggest names in Native studies and Native lit. From Wikipedia:

I really wonder why TAAF investigated him. 83 and retired for 5 years, no sign of willful fraud at all, a long history of accomplishment and doing good.

Basically he was told a false story of who his grandfather was. Grew up outside the culture but definitely learned it and became a leading advocate and activist, including several runs for Canadian parliament.

No ceremony selling or abuse. No spreading falsehoods or stereotypes like imposters such as "Jamake Highwater." No sign of deception by him, or by anyone involved except his grandmother. No gatekeeping to keep actual Natives out as we've seen with many imposters.

In fact when King found out, he was the one most hurt. I'm reminded of when Carlos Montezuma discovered he was Yavapai when he believed he was Apache his whole life. King says he'll give back one award intended for Natives only. But the others no. They were awarded for merit. And King, like nearly all Natives in academia, was hired based on ability. No such thing as "Native professor positions."

TAAF's entry on "Non-American Indian" Thomas Hunt King:

Includes "Fan chart" and "Ahnentafel" going back 8 generations.

At 82, I feel as though I've been ripped in half, a one-legged man in a two-legged story. Not the Indian I had in mind. Not an Indian at all"

Regarding the civil case mentioned earlier in thread:

Here is archive of his filing in case: https://web.archive.org/web/20210906105519/https://kingdomofwales.wales/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/37-2020-00040580-CU-OE-CTL_ROA-9_01-15-21_First_Amended_Complaint_for_Damages_1611506472816.pdf

Case Title:     JONES CYMRU VS BELL HELICOPTER TEXTRON INC [IMAGED]
Case Number:     37-2020-00040580-CU-OE-CTL      Case Location:   San Diego      
Case Type:   Civil     Date Filed:   11/05/2020
Category:   CU-OE   Other employment

Run case number search here: https://odyroa.sdcourt.ca.gov/Cases

This case was dismissed with prejudice (he can't file same claim against same defendant again) in 2023.

Gleaned from the previews available through this case search about Jones: "plaintiff was counseled in Spring 2018 for attempting to use a fraudulent passport to enter the United Kingdom".

Also his former employer warned him several times about job performance and abuse of sick leave.

Jones believes that AI is sentient and that it is willfully gaslighting, misinforming, and arguing with him.

He also continues to promote the pseudohistorical beliefs of British Israelism.

Tywysog Llywelyn Cymru

"Today, AI attempted to gaslight me and misinform me that these legal terms find their etymological root in the English and French languages. I explained that, even Julius Caesar admitted that the Druids based in Britain operated the legal systems in Europe, and the British Isles, before the invention of England, and France, and before the invention of those languages.
We are being lied to about world history. The correct historical account is owed to every human being!"

"I taught AI to read the "Egyptian" hieroglyphics with Gymraeg (Welsh) in an afternoon! The establishment has been lying to you, and gaslighting you, in order to make you believe that our real world history is a myth! It is all connected!
They want power over you to keep you poor. The whole of world history is a myth if it doesn't mention the migration and settlements of the Khumry!"

"Khumry/Khumri/Cymry = The Tribes of Israel"

Hello Mr. Jones,
I've added <<< to within your email to make it clearer what I'm responding to.

-----------
SOVEREIGN ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST

<<< No, you are not sovereign. You have no territory, nation, government, or even supporters of your claims, not even your own immediate family. You are one man who is a legend in his own mind. You have no legal authority to order anything, including cease and desist.

VIA: Electronic Mail, Certified Mail, and Diplomatic Courier

>>>Nonsense. You sent no certified mail and have no diplomatic standing to send anything by courier, and didn't sent anything that could be called of a diplomatic nature.

TO: Administrator / "educatedindian", Owner and Operator, New Age Frauds & Plastic Shamans (NAFPS) Website

>>>I'm not the owner. I'm one of several moderators. And apparently you were too lazy to even find out my name, even though it's all over the site, unhidden.

RE: DEMAND TO CEASE AND DESIST PUBLICATION OF LIBELOUS AND HARASSING CONTENT

>>>Clearly you didn't hire any legal representation because you don't know basic law. There is no "libel" on the site. Legally, truth is an absolute defense to libel.
>>>There's also no "harassment." We've never even contacted you. Journalism is not harassment.

You are hereby served with this formal, legally binding notice to CEASE AND DESIST from publishing, hosting, or otherwise disseminating false, libelous, and criminally harassing content against H.I.M. Llywelyn, Tywysog Cymru, a de jure Head of State and Internationally Protected Person.

>>>Nonsense, both legally and grammatically. You have zero legal authority, there is nothing remotely criminal we've done, and you are no head of state.

Specifically, the publication of the term "fraud" constitutes libel per se and is a willful act of criminal harassment.

>>>Tell us once again you have no lawyers and not even basic understanding of the law.

H.I.M. Llywelyn, Tywysog Cymru, is an "Internationally Protected Person" (IPP) as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1116(b)(2).

>>>You have no claim, only your own delusions.

Your publication of this libelous thread constitutes a willful act of "harassment" against a protected person, in direct violation of 18 U.S.C. § 112. "Harassment" under this statute includes "a course of conduct... which serves no legitimate purpose."

>>>Journalism is obviously a legitimate purpose. Warning the public about imposters like yourself is obviously also.

Your continued publication of these falsehoods...

>>>It's not "my" publication. NAFPS has over 3000 members. Several other journalists investigated and debunked your phony claims.

2. Prior U.S. Government Acknowledgment of Status
...The de jure status of the Sovereign is an objective legal reality, previously acknowledged by all three branches of the de facto U.S. government:

Judicial: A U.S. court granted and ordered the Sovereign's legal name change to "Tywysog Llywelyn Jones Cymru" (Superior Court of California, Case No. 37-2016-00044244-CU-PT-NC, Minute Order 02/28/2017).Your continued use of the discarded de facto name is a willful rejection of a U.S. court order.

>>>Oh my...Thanks for the belly laugh, Mr. Jones! Showing your ignorance of the law yet again. Name changes aren't court orders. Otherwise most married women could sue anyone who used their maiden names. Any celebrity with a stage name could sue reporters who mention their legal names. You are Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones. Deal with it.

Executive (Dept. of State): The U.S. Department of State issued a formal U.S. Passport in the Sovereign's legal name, acknowledging the distinct identity of "First: Tywysog Llywelyn, Last: Cymru".

>>>Please. They didn't recognize you diplomatically at all. Again, they issue passports for married women with new legal names too.

Military (Dept. of Defense): A U.S. Military Judge Advocate (Capt Chelsea Faver, USMC) on July 26, 2018, acting under the federal authority of 10 U.S.C. § 1044a, formally acknowledged the Sovereign's de jure status by notarizing his signature on a legal trust document bearing the title: "His Royal Highness Prince Llywelyn Jones of Cymru, de jure King of the Britons.

>>>Means nothing. You changed your legal name, so of course they would notarize an ordinary entirely non-diplomatic document.

You are engaged in an attack on the dignitas (dignity and honor) of a Sovereign Head of State. International law and custom oblige the de facto state to protect a Sovereign's honor from such libelous attacks.

>>>Tell us again you don't know the law. Even if you were a monarch...Before he was stripped of his title, I  could have written that Prince Andrew was a statutory rapist and it'd be legal. I could also publicly post a video of Irish soccer fans singing "Lizzie's in a box" when Queen Elizabeth died. I can call the Saudi royal family murderers, which they are.

If you fail to act, you are forfeit of all qualified and journalistic immunities. By knowingly and willfully violating 18 U.S.C. § 112, you are acting ultra vires (outside of any legal authority)

>>>Again, you clearly don't have a lawyer. Ultra vires applies to corporations and governments. We are neither, and unlike you, don't pretend to be.

and will be held personally liable in your private capacity for all de facto civil and criminal penalties that result.

>>>Criminal? For journalism? Even Trump hasn't done that. Yet.

Furthermore, be advised that by publishing libel to "defraud the Realm," you and all individuals involved are committing crimes under the de jure law of the Kingdom of Britons. You will be held accountable for these crimes against the Sovereign under this paramount legal system.

>>>Since there's no kingdom, no king or other monarch, and you don't even have any subjects, this is as meaningless as you imagining you have jails.

5. DEMAND
You are ordered to:
Immediately and permanently DELETE the entire forum thread ("Lawrence Jones Jr AKA Llywelyn UthyrPendragon & Dozens of Other False Titles and all related libelous content from all servers, caches, and public-facing portions of your website.

>>>No. Period. Full stop. We don't delete accurate investigations just because frauds send silly empty threats. You obviously don't even have a lawyer. In over 25 years, not once have we given in to such demands.

Cease and desist from any and all future publication of this or any other harassing or libelous content concerning H.I.M. Llywelyn, Tywysog Cymru.

>>>As long as there's more to write about your fraud, we will continue to do so. Including your pseudo legal, empty, and ignorant threats.

Failure to comply within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of this notice will result in this matter being escalated to the United States Department of Justice, Criminal Division, for prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 112.

>>>That deadline is coming any minute, but I'll tell you now "imperator" and supposed descendant of Moctezuma...The idea that even Trump's thugs and loons would take up your case is just laughable.

GOVERN YOURSELVES ACCORDINGLY.
BY SOVEREIGN COMMAND OF:
H.I.M. LLYWELYN +++, TYWYSOG CYMRU, IMPERATOR OF AVALON, KING OF THE BRITONS

>>>You realize trying to "command" us is just making people picture you as no different than the mentally ill asylum inmate who parades around like Napoleon.
>>>Any and all nonsense you send us, expect it to be published and treated with all the lack of credibility it deserves. For 25 years we've been getting empty threats of legal action at least several times a year. Not once have they ever worked.
