First of all..."black list"? Come on...NDNs don't run the govt, don't own the printing presses, don't own the newspapers, not even some of the Native-oriented ones.
I know some Nuagers just love to use that melodramatic phrase. It fits with their romanticized self image of themselves as "nobody understands us super spirchul types, everybody's out to get us, especially those mean dark skinned people!" But come on, it's not based on anything close to reality...much like Nuagers themselves and their books and leaders.
No one, as far as I know, has ever argued for banning anything. All we'd like is for the Nuage frauds to simply tell the truth, that works X Y and Z are fiction, fantasy, stereotype, wishful thinking, etc. There was even one group of activists who met with Lynn Andrews who offered to never protest her public speeches again if she came clean and admitted she made everything up and labelled her books fiction instead of alleged autobiography.
Naturally she didn't. Her book sales would've fallen off.

Any objections to Hunt or his books wouldn't be too high up on the list of NDN priorities. After all, he wrote them 70-90 years ago and he's been dead for about 30. His books are about crafts, not teaching sacred rituals. He does seem to have some stereotypes in his books, so I wouldn't recommend them for kids. And I wonder why you wouldn't just go to Native clubs that discuss crafts. Some would be suspicious of outsiders and wonder if they wanted to play NDN and live in a tipi on the weekend. But once they got to know someone and saw this wasn't so, I think many wouldn't mind.
Anyone interested in the subject should probably also read on the problems with the Boy Scouts use of fake "Indian" imagery and terms.
