I have known Danny for a decade and attended many of his performances. There are many opinions and comments being offered for the world to read as fact-however, the writers of these so-called truths have never obviously attended even one performance. Danny has never stated that he is full-blooded Apache, (find someone of any heritage that is full-blooded these days), he does have Apache heritage as his step-sister has shown in this forum. He has never stated he was a chief, shaman or medicine man, he very clearly states at his performances that he is a flute player, a storyteller, and a messenger of PEACE. His purpose is to share his experiences, heritage and music with the people, to enlighten others that though are skin color is different, we are all related to one another by the only race, "The Human Race", a message of tolerance, love and respect for ourselves and each other. Danny has given many hours of his time and talents to benefits, performances and educational programs- to raise money for others. One of the writers in this forum offers they want proof - read a newspaper! There are countless articles written about his charitable contributions to his community and the education of the people. I believe in forums that keep a watchful eye on persons who represent themselves in an untruthful way. Danny is not one of those people, he is very humble and would not intentionally hurt others, he would be the first to apologize if he offended someone. Many of the postings seem to be a personal, spiteful, melicious attack on his character not the watchful eye of someone trying to expose an imposter. Danny wants to enlighten, the world has too long held misconceptions of the native race and wants to help dispell the negative images that are so often placed on a person of any color. Intolerance of one another and racism are so damaging to our world- knowledge is POWER. Fear is the driving force for such hatred, so let's all become enlightened, learn about the things, people and cultures that cause these fears. We are all different, that diversity is what gives our world such a fasinating appeal-so let's explore and embrace our diversity. That IS DANNY'S message...not one of deception for personal gain, but one of HOPE that we can all come together as one people,"The Human Race", a race of Love, tolerance and understanding of one another. I send blesings of Light, Love, Peace and Understanding to all who read this. Thank you !
