1. Many unsubstantiated statements have been anonymously posted on this forum regarding Tecumseh Brown Eagle and his associates.
2. Truth is a fundamental way of life for the true Native American. Truth is our heritage.
3. Therefore, I respectfully request that the people who have posted these statements do so in their own true name, giving their address and phone numbers, and that they allow themselves to be contacted directly by Tecumseh Brown-Eagle, along with his associates.
4. For instance, several statements have provided strong allegations of criminal behavior and criminal convictions attributed to some of Tecumseh’s associates, but the source was hidden. (Words like drug “bust” were used to make the reader think that the person had been charged and convicted, but that is completely false and
5. the accused has tried twice to register to make posts on the forum, but he has been denied.)
6. The color of a person’s skin, the nature of the journey they have taken to find their true self, and the honor of a person’s friends are things to be valued, not denigrated.
7. The simple act of Tecumseh changing his name as he found and then honored his Native American ancestry is something to be praised, not condemned.
8. I will wait to see if Niiki, Don Naconna, educatedindian and the others will identify themselves so that they can be contacted by Tecumseh and his associates.
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.
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.
I added numbers to make it clear what I'm responding to.
1. There is not a single anonymous post anywhere in this thread I'm aware of. If there is, kindly point it out.
2. I added bold to point out that Johnson still is claiming (with no proof) that he is Native.
3. Oh brother. Who I am is a matter of public record both here and elsewhere online. If you're too lazy to look, that's not my problem. The same is true of Don's actual name.
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.
It's also important to note that
both Hopson and Rubino have already contacted me by email.
Hopson repeatedly offered to put Johnson in contact with the NAFPS moderators several months ago.
She even got repeated elaborate promises we would keep confidential anything she and Johnson sent to us.
Then she (or Johnson) backed down and would not contact us all these months.
So OK, Hopson and Johnson. Contact me now by email, or be shown to be either liars or cowards yet again.
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.
5. Johnson has never been stopped from joining. In fact we've expressed our hope that he would join.
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.
And it's pretty bizarre for Johnson to be defending an alleged organized crime figure's "honor."
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.
8. Like I said before, who Don and myself are IRL is well known and all over this forum. We don't hide it. Don't get angry at us just because you're too lazy to read.
