"It seems what got Ms. Hopson to return was the realization that Johnson's tactics to try and get his Black supremacy outift recognized as a legit Indian tribe are being exposed."
Response: Yet again you are incorrect, not to mention the fact that the continuous disrespect by not calling him by his legal name which is... Chief Tecumseh Brown-Eagle is deplorable.
"Truth is a fundamental way of life for the true Native American. Truth is our heritage.
Ms. Hopson, I notice the quote marks. Can you state publicly: Is this a statement from Johnson? I believe it is, but you sure don't help matters by not making that clear.'
My Response: As for making anything clear........... the main thing I see that needs to be made clear is the fact that "in the real world" the accuser(s) would need to prove who they are by legal documentation FIRST, before making demands on the accused. Legal documentation such as birth records, your lineage proof (with Dawes Comm numbers,etc.)

[Very long sidetrack removed. Hopson also altered the content of some of the posts she reposted.]
TO FORUM: For those of you in here that have accused Chief Tecumseh Brown-Eagle as being a (a)"Black Supremest" and (b)anti-native, or saying that he said he is (c)"full-blooded" Metis. If he was (a) he wouldn't be Co-Chairman of so many different tribes (he never said he was one of those within all of those tribes!), he wouldn't be An Advocate for: Human Rights and Minorities (yes, minorities - that would mean all of them), or on the Erie County Human Relations Commission Advisory Board, or have so many friends and confidantes that are of all different culture, race and colour, I could go on and on; (b) he wouldn't be Co-Chairman of the Native American Reconciliation Campaign, again I could go on and on; (c) he never said he was full-blooded Metis, you don't have to be Metis to be involved in their organization. Words seem to be twisted throughout this whole thread by tooo many. He is a very diverse man who constantly learns about other cultures, it does not mean he always believes in what those peoples do, or is of that culture.

TO FORUM: Funny why there have not been more questions in this forum regarding the fact that David R.aka Rastia'ta'non:ha, corresponded for a few years with many of Chief Tecumseh Brown-Eagle and his Tribes contacts which supported and provided information, proof and legitimacy to them of Chief Tecumseh Brown-Eagle and his Tribe's claims?? Then all of a sudden when there is a dispute between them he states that Chief Tecumseh Brown-Eagle is a fraud??
Lets be real here, in my opinion David R. is angry (no, livid) that the Chief wanted to include all Aboriginal Tribes and peoples in assisting the nuclear power plant, to follow the laws by informing all of the tribal groups. David R. is against both the power plant and all of the tribes being represented in the informational process. Chief Tecumseh Brown-Eagles tribe has always been known as the Neutrals because of their insight to listen to the needs of the people involved and not incite the people, causing them to become short sighted. David R. was also fully aware of the fact that a full and complete lineage including Dawes Comm numbers, etc. had been done for the Chief approximately a year ago, but he chose to "jump the gun" and accuse him of being a fraud. He knew full and well that the information on the Chief's website was a "skeletal" lineage and was not even close to completion nor had it been researched yet. In my opinion it is NOT Chief Tecumseh Brown-Eagle's native background that should be at question here.

1. "There is not a single anonymous post anywhere in this thread I'm aware of. If there is, kindly point it out."
My response to your #1: You are word playing, anonymous as in ........... pseudonyms like "Niiki".

2. "I added bold to point out that Johnson still is claiming (with no proof) that he is Native."
My response to your #2: As stated earlier.......the accuser(s) would need to prove who they are by legal documentation FIRST, before making demands on the accused. Legal documentation such as birth records and lineage proof including Dawes Comm numbers, etc.

3. "And no, we won't post addresses or phone numbers publicly. We don't post personal information that could be used for harassment, not for anyone. Eg, even if we had Johnson's home phone, we wouldn't post it either."
My response to your #3: That is not true, MY personal email address was posted by Niiki and allowed to stay posted until I requested it removed? Not to mention the fact that my real name is constantly posted by you and Niiki??
I respectfully request that you email your phone number and postal address as well as your legal name, birth documents, parents information, your lineage (including Comm numbers, etc.) to Chief Tecumseh Brown-Eagle and/or his associate Greg Rubino, so that they may make direct contact. Yes we do have your email address, but you do not speak truth, instead you play on words.

4. "It's pretty obvious they're talking about Rubino's alleged organized crime ties and activity. The source was not hidden. The source was GoErie.com. And their sources included local and state investigators."Drug bust" means just that. Rubino was accused of being found with drugs or dealing drugs. It doesn't necessarily mean convicted. I never used the term bust, but I did make it clear (in responding to what Nikki spoke) that these are still allegations at this point in time."
My response to your #4: I contacted Mr. Rubino, and that is completely untrue! The fact is that the FBI stated publicly that it has never even investigated Mr. Rubino, much less busted him. He has never been as much as charged with any crime of any kind, not even a misdemeanour, by any law enforcement agency. He is highly respected by legitimate law enforcements and they consider him a friend. There is no evidence of any kind whatsoever that Mr. Rubino is linked to any illegal activities, alleged or otherwise. I went to the link you posted and did not find this "drug bust" information. I ask that you direct me to exact place on GoErie.com that you saw this untrue statement. If it is not from a law enforcement source, then it is just jibberish and should be totally disregarded, you should know better than that.

6. "Oh brother, the Black supremacist is seriously trying to claim a multiracial forum said something racist about him?" All we did is point out how ridiculous Hopson's claim that Iroquois in old photos look African is"
(b) "And it's pretty bizarre for Johnson to be defending an alleged organized crime figure's "honor."
My response to your #6: Oh brother, THAT is completely untrue of mainly "Niiki".
My response to #6(b): Post true proof of this statement as Greg Rubino has said "it is totally false!" What law enforcement agency has made public any proof of any nature whatsoever that Greg Rubino is an organized crime figure, alleged or otherwise?

7. "Johnson lying about who his ancestors are, altering his grandparents death certificate, using someone else's genealogy, and taking a name he has no right to are not anything to be praised, but to be condemned."
My Response to your number #7: Where is your proof of any of this statement? Documented proof, not fabricated here-say, allegations and assumptions from Niiki? These types of statements are definitely NOT criticism as you wrote in your email to Greg Rubino.... "Finally, criticism is not "libel". That is black letter law."
educatedindian, Niiki/David R. and Don Naconna bring forth your proof or apologize publicly. Stop dancing around the issues and send us legal proof of who you are, your background, etc. and the proof (legal documented proof) of all that you say. Not rumour, character assassination and innuendo… proof. What are you afraid of? You are welcome to attend Greg Rubino's offices for a meeting in person, where you will be treated with respect, something that has not been shown here.
