This is just a few selected quotes from one of the websites Barnaby posted a link to . It sounds like the
main issue that got Nahualqo / Nagualqo banned was people felt he was "recruiting" for his "cult".
There was some strong objections to Nahualqo claiming to be a traditional teacher when he wasn't backing this up with any verifiable references to real elders . The subject of cultural appropriation came up in this forum , and there was concerns Nahualqo was a fraud . From what I read it looks like Nahualqo repeatedly avoiding giving any answers and there was some of the same rudeness we saw here . Eventually , after being banned for a while , Nahualqo got asked to come to NAFPS for a "credibility check" . I guess that is how he came to be here . ( with an attitude )

"Do you think a Nauhual would invest his time, energy, hard won knowledge and a lifetime of work in
indulging you? Knowledge is not your mothers milk, your feelings of entitlement are absurd, your patience is non-existent. As far as I can see you are not one of the individuals that I am looking for in order to invest my knowledge and ability. You are folly, not even controlled folly. However there are people who do frequent this board that are deserving of a relationship in knowledge. I ask you politely to step aside so that those that have worth can begin to share something of value."

"So now my question about your claimed Indian Tribal membership still remains. Because you avoid stating which tribe you belong to and say things like "if you want a pedigree get a dog" it is quite clear that you have no respect for the wishes of Native Americans that say anyone who claims Tribal Status while pushing Shamanic ideas should authenticate their Indian-ness and state the elders that have taught them their Knowlege.
To not do this is considered by Native Americans to be a sure sign of fraud." ( con ..)
"As you can see, Quetzal Ocelotl, I am using this name so that when people web search for Quetzal Ocelotl they will come to here and be able to see your avoidance and disrespect for Indian concerns.
As you are ....so should you be known.
Please tell us..
what is your Tribe? and who are your elders?"

"I don't particularly care to know you. None of my participants will read this. I desire to remain anonymous except to those I participate with. I have not accepted any students from this board and my personal information should be resepected as such, personal information.
Why do you continue to make a fool out of yourself and make false accusations? Do you think that making a fool out of yourself will get me to reveal myself to you? My family and I am well known among my tribe, we still have original allotment land. I am a good member in standing of the tribe. If you think it is so easy to be a member of a tribe, try it for yourself.
You are proving to be the absolutist. I accomodated most of your requests and your answers and I gave you reasons why I don't feel required to remove my anonymity on this board that is full of louts and bullies that takes great pleasure in dissing Nahualism. (con ...)"
"First of all, you are not representative of any Native American body politic. All your complaints attempt to hide your disrespect as some sort of protection of Native American rights. As if you know better than I our sufferings and troubles a person that has lived our troubles from birth. You don't think you are seen already as a dishonest broker. I will be seen as the traditionalist, you will be seen as you are, a non-Indian attempting to diss a Native American belief system and hide behind an audacious false pretense of protecting Native American rights.

"You say you are teaching a Native American belief system ..and that is why I must ask you again
what is your Tribe and who are your elders? If you have not run into this before then it is overdue don't you think? I see that you do seem to try to sell your "teachings" so maybe your student body is anemic and that is why you have come here. I guess that makes some sense. Maybe your problem is advertising. It is obvious you are in trouble on that count. I think that could be fixed if you would consent to a makeover of your personal style. You know ...acting like a racist indian does not make you seem like a real indian..
If you learned more about opening your heart to people that are NOT potential marks for your Nagual scam.. you would certainly do better than you seem to be doing so far."

"When you prove to me a Native American Indian group is interested in me. I will disclose my particulars to them, not to you and it will be under the condition of privacy no public disclosure of my identity. They will share with you only that I am a full tribal member and they will not tell you which tribe, oh yes and they can tell that my father is well known among all Native Americans. I will also disclose to them my contributions to the Native American community. So if you can interest a Native American group to take the time to wallow in your protestations I can take the time for them. But not for you and not for Sustained Reaction."

"I suggest that you do that yourself Nagualgo if you are in such good standing with a Tribe and truly have respect for them.. and they for you. Like I said you could be an apple or worse. a rotten apple.
Proving a degree of Indian Blood would settle the authentification issue ..which needs to be settled first off.. . due to your claim.. I think step two..If you prove you are not a fake Indian ..is proving you are not a flake Indian ...of the new age variety.
I look forward to you setting the record straight as promptly as possible.

"Since when do I need your affirmation? I should disprove your negative because you couldn't
take the time to start a respectful discourse with me so that I would be obliged to share that information with you in private? No, I prefer you to be the disrespectful gnome on a toadstool than to incurr any civility from you for the price of your disrespect. The price of your honor is to be paid by you, not by me. I have already paid the price of my honor among my people. You don't amount to all that much now do you. "

"Naw, Nag hasn't been banned for life... as a matter of fact, he has received the lightest sentence yet for a death threat, a mere month.More in his way, is the conditions he has to meet before he can return. He has to acknowledge that he's not allowed to recruit from here and make a statement that he will not accept members for his cult from SR. He has to accept normal posting restrictions, share his post allottment with his entire cult, no more threats... and two months of probation.
So we might not see him again, but we could if he agrees to all that."

Re: statement about nagualgo.
Quote:for his whole posting routine has been a recruitment from the beginning.
I don't get it. Was under the impression that Nags tradition is private and one would have to apprentice for years to even be considered.What sense would it make trying to recurit people into something of this nature at a debunking of Toltecs site? I think his interest was more to do with creating a legal body of sorts for education of Native Americans.

Re: statement about nagualgo. I don't get it either, but in Nag's first post here he states he's seeking those worthy to receive his knowledge.
Saying it's private and exclusive is just a way of making it sound important.

Reply A vs V Native American Elders and activists are clearly against any new age commercialization or syncretism of their spiritual culture by Natives, mixed bloods or by non Natives.
"Do you think the statement that one belongs to a 1000 year old secret society of Toltec Nonoalcos is suspicious? Especially considering the commercilization of Toltecism in the last 10 years...
If Nagualgo's stated aim is to create a Government subsidised School that is funded by Grants.
Do you think a secret Toltec society that will not authenticate itself as being truly Toltec will ever be getting aid from the Government. And by 2012?
Do you think he will go along with your request at Abe's for NAFPS scrutiny?"

I'd be surprised if he did ~ NAFPS seems like too "open" an organization for his liking
I'm slightly curious to see what he *does* do

Interesting Nahualqo never once mentioned he was a Toltec Nagual in his public posts here .
I guess this is why he was so concerned about what NAFPS does . This forum must look like a mean and nasty place with too many bright lights and inquiring minds, for someone claiming to be a Blackfoot Toltec Nagual , that is contradicting it's claims of being too secret to verify itself , by sharing extensive "information" / ?"teachings" over the internet and and trying to find new recruits on line .
Having seen this guys inability to listen , and and his habitual rudeness , I am a bit concerned that he claims to be a Spiritual leader , a Spiritual counciller in drug and alchohol programs , and in the thread " Using posts for my class " he mentioned sometimes teaching about "Native Americans", in school .
