Sacred Lands and Peruvian Altar Monthly Meetings

[BlackWolf]

There are monthly so called “Peruvian Altar” meetings at a place called Sacred Lands in central Florida.   I am not well versed in South American Indian traditions.  Is there anyone here that is? They  mention “Mesa Carriers” on the website  whatever that is?  According to the “Sacred Lands” website, the location of “Sacred Lands” is the site of an ancient Tocobaga Indian Village.  And that appears to be the case, and the reason for all the events that take place there.  “Sacred Lands” seems to have many distinct and unconnected  groups that congregate here.  Many  give  workshops and teachings, and the majority of their events have some kind of a Native American theme.  Any opinions on this monthly “Peruvian Altar Meeting”, and also, on all of the so called Native American teachings and events that go on there in general?  They do seem to have at least some legitimate Native Americans that have gone there in the past.  But in general, it seems like it is a meet up place for Twinkies and Exploiters.

The few people I’ve researched on the site are obviously  not legitimate.  For example, one of the upcoming story tellers for the “Green Frog Festival” that takes place there “Charles Yona Galohisdi Dunning” has wrote books with native themes.  He wrote a book called “Gentle Footsteps” “...prayers and teachings gathered along the red road.

And quotes like this tells me that these people are not Indian. 
“Chante Ishta and Sister Spirit will be here for drumming and singing around the fire.”

Charles "Door Bear" Dunning? "Green Frog Festival"? That's good for a chuckle. ADDED: By the way, "DOOR BEAR", Cherokee people don't travel the "red road" unless they are at war, and then they are not "Gentle Footsteps".

Heres a good article that talks about the exploitation of Peruvian Indian ceramonies and heritage.
