Due to recent events, the Native American Association of Germany e.V. (NAAoG e.V.) would like to emphasis that our activities promote a cultural exchange and we therefore cooperate with Native Americans from various nations.
NAAoG does not, however, cooperate with sellers of indigenous spirituality and indigenous ceremonies - not in the past, not presently, nor will we do so in future. NAAoG rejects such practice and does not support such persons in any way.
Presently, such a seller of indigenous spirituality has uploaded a video on YouTube in which he criticizes NAAoG for not supporting Native Americans in preserving their culture and spirituality. He says in his video: "I welcome the opportunity to speak with a crowd of people hosted by the Native American Association of Germany...". It is absolutely sure that the Native American Association of Germany e.V. will not host an event like that. The NAAoG e.V. will never cooperate with this person.
Furthermore, this person has published an e-mail address which may give viewers the impression this was an official contact to NAAoG. This is not the case, the e-mail address in question is operated by said person.
We at NAAoG distance ourselves from such schemes.
The official e-mail addresses for contacting the Native American Association of Germany can be found on our website
