Greetings

I live in Glastonbury, England, the home of weird and flakey (and Native American appropriation). I have an academic background in art and archaeology, and Asian Indian culture/religion. My ethnic origin is Irish. I found this site while checking out some of the outrageous frauds who regularly turn up in Glastonbury claiming all kinds of authority to teach Native American culture/religion/ceremony. I've started directing people towards this site as many people in the UK have little or no knowledge of the harm caused by cultural theft. I don't know very much about Native American cultures (sorry, will try to catch up), but loathe the profiteering and disrespect.

You were born to fight fraud, it seems. And I can well imagine the crazy that goes through your area. Welcome!
I came here for the popcorn and stayed for the slaying of pretenders.
