If you've not walked in their shoes, if you've not talked to them personally, if you've not atteneded a workshop / or class, if you've not visited their home, if you've not recieved a birthday gift from them, if you've not had a reading from them, if you've not broken bread with them, if you've not received a hug from then, - you cannot comment.
And now you can let Eve rest in peace - for she now knows more than we do. RIP EVE LUNG 194?-2019 REST IN PEACE and may this posting topic cease.
If the extent of your understanding of Native traditions comes from knowing so little you paid for phony ceremony, you should not comment other than saying "I'm sorry," "I didn't realize what I did was wrong, but now I do," and "What can I do to make up for the wrong I did?"
The last thing you should be doing is racist White-splaining. It's condescending, and contemptuous of the cultures you claim to admire or imitate.
The question becomes, do we move this thread to Archives?
Thankfully, Eve Lung didn't have much of an impact beyond taking advantage of her local circle. Most of her online presence has ended. It's mostly old ads for her ceremony selling. Her websites are down, and the only book I saw of her was about King Arthur.
Ironically her defenders are the main argument for keeping this thread active, since they naively believe her genuine and only seem to know her falsehoods.
Again, AO, can you point us to an obituary?
