I was first introduced through a close friend who said you have to meet this woman Maria Yraceburu/Sisters of Honua - Moon Lodge.
At my friends suggestion I attended a moon lodge with Mary Jo/Maria. I believe it was in 2011. I was given my name (Coyote Run), which also should have been a red flag. It was in English.
I was drawn to Mary Jo/Maria during ceremony because she talked about the Pleiadians and I have had a strong connection the Pleiades since I was 19.
My friend did not come so I was there alone knowing no one. I wish I trusted my intuition, but that’s the big lesson for me here. At the moon lodge I distinctly remember not feeling drawn to anyone who was around Mary Jo/Maria. That should have been a red flag right there, but I trusted my friend.
I had no reason to think she wasn’t Apache or even Native American for that matter. I guess I just never even fathomed that someone would do that.
They moved to New Mexico so I never really saw them over the next few years or participated in any classes they were offering. I think I attended 3 moon lodges here in San Diego. But I supported them because of the Pleiadian connection and the recommendation of my friend.
In Oct 2014 she sent out this email requesting volunteers for the council. So I joined:
Here is the email:

I found this New Age Fraud Forum when I was actually staying on the land she is trying to but in New Mexico. My wife and I were caring for it while they were in Ohio at Serpent Mound performing ceremony.
I didn't believe what was written then, and didn't really research it at that time.
But from that point I started watching Maria more closely to see if her actions were in alignment with words.
I find it interesting now that it was when I was actually on the land herself when I stumbled upon this forum.
These were some of the things that started adding up:
I had done an assignment that Maria gave me while they were away at Serpent Mound, walking the Medicine Wheel on the property. When they returned, she told me that there was more to the assignment and the she would email me in a couple of days.
I never received the assignment. And I didn't ask. I watch actions. I made a note and continued to watch.
Next thing that troubled me was when I asked Maria what her email list size was. I was helping her with sharing her teachings with her database. She told me it was 5000. When I was given access to her email hosting service, I found that her list was substantially smaller. Only 1500.
So during a council meeting I was discussing her list of 5000 in front of everyone and how important a list that size can be for the amount of money we need to raise. She didn't correct me in front of everyone or later. She continued to let everyone think that she has a list of 5000.
So she lied, was given an opportunity to correct it and didn't.
I also started reviewing things from the past and in Oct 2014 she was trying to do a fundraising competition to raise money to buy the land. I was the only one who responded with any interest. (That should've been a red flag) So to thank me she said she was adding me to the volunteer list for SD Ak-Kine in May 2015 so I could get an inside look at how they do things. When it came closer to the time to register, she told me I had to pay, that to volunteer there was still a fee.
This year I also started Hat'ii Level One which is an online class with Maria where you learn to put on whole day ceremony. It is the first real training with her that I've done besides moon lodge and fire ceremony.
During one class we spent over half the class discussing what form of divination we used and what our experience was using divination tools to determine who is best fit for each role in the ceremony.
The next month she repeated the same class, asking us the same questions like she never even asked us before. We were all so stunned we just went along with it.
For someone who has been teaching as long as she has, it just didn't feel right. I never went back to class.
I have been serving on the council for 2 years now and have been supporting them to raise the money to get the land. So I share their posts on FB.
On one of the posts I shared, I received a comment from someone saying that I needed to do my research on Mary Jo Gardner, she isn't who she says she is.
So I took a closer look at all the claims that were being made here and through my own research found the claims to be true.
I believe without a doubt that Maria isn't Apache, not even a little. She is white, born to white parents.
