Jean Bustos AKA Grandmother Jean - Adasti Gadahee

[Freija]

Heard that this person might be heading to Sweden next summer and was just curious to hear what you know about her?
She advertises sweats, but there is no charge mentioned.

Hi Freija

Just my personal opinion, after I had a look of the website.

Indipendently from the fact that this woman charges or not, just the words "... Rounded Spheres: Rutilated balls used to visualize and materialize your needs and desires..." should make everybody run away, and this is just an example of what is proposed in the website.
Everything in the website sounds like a new age supermarket of the worst kind

Ciao Camilla! 

Yup, have to agree with you. Actually, the domain-name is enough, isn´t it. "Crystal teepee"??

Anyway, would be nice to hear from folks who might know more about her - like if she has any Native blood at all? Just to give me some more fuel before she gets to Sweden....

Let's wait and see .....

In the meanwhile, take care!

Found her legal name is Jean Bustos. Her site keeps claiming she is a 10th generations crystal shaman.

A few years ago she claimed 13th generations, also she wore Plains NDN regalia.
She was selling retreats at Vail, one of the wealthiest communities in the US, for 200 bucks.

And a year after that she only claimed 8th generation, when she did some Nuage gibberish on a woman who had lost her granddaughter.

"Grandmother Jean set out to “get the kooties” out of my heart chakra. A Grandmother Jean Spiritual cleansing starts with lots of prayer and cleansing with sage and other incense. Then she stratigically surrounds you with many crystals including ruby and emerald. She then wrapped me with sacred blessed furs of her power totems and spirit helpers. Finally, a large crystal was placed on my heart chakra."

A few years before, she preferred dressing as an aging hippie.

And I don't know WTH to say about this, sure doesn't inspire confidence.

Whether she has ancestry or not, there's nothing even remotely Cherokee about her that I can see, only Nuage passing as generic NDN.

A couple Nuage healers claim training by her.

She's mentioned briefly at nafps as an associate of other dubious types.

There's a couple others claiming to be Cherokee grandmothers named Jean, one called Walks Softly and another Jean Holmes whose in a lot of the UFO sites.

In 1988 there was an article about Jean Bustos and her husband Hector in the Sun Sentinel - Fort Lauderdale, here are excerpts:

LOVE CONQUERS DUO'S CULTURAL BARRIERS

Cupid was aiming Comanche arrows at Hector Bustos that day.

It was one of the last few days of his American vacation, when Bustos, a Colombian residing in Paris, decided to sight-see in Las Vegas.

A primitivist painter, musician and composer interested in folklore, Bustos was drawn to an Indian powwow near his hotel.

"There were approximately 12,000 Indians from all the tribes in the U.S. and Canada," says his wife, Betty Jean Beaver, who is half Comanche, half Cherokee.

"In the middle, of this I saw Hector, who bears an uncanny resemblance to a very well-known Indian leader called Russell Means. It was love at first sight."

Beaver, however, who was dressed in full Cherokee costume, was in for the shock of her life when she introduced herself and realized that Bustos spoke no English.

Six months later, on Valentine's Day, 1979, they were married in a Mormon ceremony. Bustos moved into her Las Vegas apartment. It was a difficult adjustment, she says.

After three years of marriage, Beaver still could not cook Colombian food -- and she still doesn't -- but she was fluent in Spanish. Bustos could speak some English.

She left her job in the advertising department of a Las Vegas newspaper and became his agent.

A year later, he had taught her to sing in Spanish and she became his singing partner. When they perform, at the restaurant and in appearances on local Spanish TV and radio programs, he plays the guitar and she plays the maracas.

Soon after, when Bustos had to travel to South Florida to exhibit his primitivist oils of Colombia, they decided to relocate here. Bustos felt more at home in the Latin ambiance of South Florida.

She is currently Betty Jean Bustos (her husband passed away in 2005 http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Bustos&GSiman=1&GScid=2153176&GRid=11609597&)

Jose Hector Bustos married Betty Jean Garcia 13 Feb 1979 in Nevada https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VVKH-VT5 Don't know if Garcia is her birth name or a prior married surname.

This is a google machine translation from Swedish, Aug 2012 article:

Exciting visit to managing the house
LJUSDAL / LJUSDALS-POSTEN
From the town of Taos in the U.S., Indian, Adasti Gadahee come to hand over the Order.

Related

Dressed in traditional Indian ceremony clothing goes Adasti Gadahee into management house to meet the mayor, Roland Bäckman (S) representing Ljusdals mayor when we in Sweden do not make use of the title. He should accept the proclamation she carried with them across the Atlantic.

For 50 years she traveled all over the world as a spokesman for humanity and for peace instead of merely represent my tribe.

Now she is in Sweden that city the U.S. city of Taos Peace and välvilje envoy. Roland Bäckman who received the city's proclamation thought it was fun to meet Grandma Jean and hear her thoughts and ideas.

- It is interesting that the Indians think that you should not make decisions about the environment that affect the next seven generations negative, he says.

She asked if I knew that the lizard image was a good luck sign for Native Americans. I said I’d heard that but didn’t know why. She got quiet for a little while and began by saying the Reptile clan fell to earth from the distant stars. They were star people, shape shifters and man eaters- though they cannot stand our odor nor we theirs. Now a days she said they just domesticate us to make money for themselves. They are the 7 families who rule the earth from power and wealth. Native Americans make and wear lizard images as a kind of protection from the Reptile Clan.
