Andrew Soliz

Obit for Carrie Rae Woodburn's father: https://www.selandsfuneralhome.com/obituaries/richard-engh One of his daughters listed is "Carrie (Andrew Soliz) Woodburn, of Laguna Beach, Ca".

In Carrie's mother obit she is "Carrie (Andrew) Woodburn of Laguna Beach, CA".

I believe Carrie has inherited and earned money that enabled her to buy expensive property.

I don't know as much about Andrew David Soliz yet.

People search also lists "Solis" as a possible aka for Andrew. I wonder if "Solis" is actually his birth surname. His son is named "David Solis". In interview Andrew says that his son David is his shop manager. David Solis refers to Andrew as his father in social media.

Andrew is an Artist, Craftsman and Ceremonial Man.  He lives his life with a commitment to share the wisdom of his Native American ancestry. He understands that this way of life can bring a person to their center and allow them to be in good relation with all things. As a Sun Dancer, Pipe Carrier, Artist and healer Andrew humbly guides individuals along their personal path to their true self.  His art pieces are designed to inspire one’s connection to nature and all of creation.

Andrew Soliz is president of the board of directors for the Sawdust Art Festival https://sawdustartfestival.org/contact/our-team/

He continues to promote himself as someone special and extra spiritual.

The podcast interviewer here of Andrew and Carrie is somewhat fawning and reverent of them. https://www.voiceoflaguna.com/podcasts/artists-corner/episode/carrie-rae-woodburn-and-andrew-soliz/

Earlier in our forum discussion here a follower wrote: "From my perspective, what initially seems like harm often later turns into miraculous healing.". This is an ongoing theme of Andrew's. Suffering and hurting = good. In recent interview Andrew stated that when artists donate items to help raise money for a beneficial fund, it would be be far superior for them to "hurt" when they do so, to donate items that they don't want to.

Frauds promoting themselves as special/spiritual/indigenous who teach followers that harm and hurt are actually to be sought. Yucky and potentially dangerous.

No matter what Andrew David Soliz and Carrie Rae Woodburn say or imply - those leather bags have no powers. They are not sacred.

Yes, I did a quick look-see on Andrew Solis. I only went back a couple of generations and they're all Mexican. His parents moved to Santa Barbara when they were children. And it appears they were high school sweethearts and married right out of high school. They divorced in 1974? I'll have to go back and look just to be sure. Didn't see where anyone was from New Mexico as he claims Acoma Pueblo, but I could be wrong or maybe didn't go back far enough.

His last name is Solis. As in Carrie's father's obituary. I had a really hard time finding him with his current name SOLIZ. I believe he purposely misspelled his name. All names in the census, city directories, marriage records and high school yearbooks are SOLIS.

i am pueblo (also southern ute and chicano)

so if he came from a line of medicine men that would be a pueblo cultural appointment.....why doesnt he practice pueblo medicine ways and serve his people in silence the right way because everyone knows our ways are very private? why would he be a sundancer and pipe carrier for another tribe if he came from such a respected background???

you can say i am an "adopted lakota" too as they all call me kola, and consider me their oyate/tiopsaye and i have 2 lakota exes...they invite me to sweat and to sing.......here is the difference....i would NEVER assume the rights to take thier culture to non-indians.....and when i am invited to sweat/ceremony i always acknowledge i am there as a guest....lets say it again.....GUEST!!!!! never overstep your boundaries

but what do i know? im just a powwow ndn who never got too involved with the actual "religious" side .....i mean i do love my ceremony ndn friends and my protest ndn friends but they are not nearly as fun as my powwow ndn friends

but i do know one thing......those ceremony ndnz (either real of fake) sure do love them some white women which always seem to be in abundance and eat up all the "wisdom" from some "medicine man" sitting crosslegged on some mesa being all spiritual n shit over some plain common powwow ndn who helps elders to their cars and helps with tables and chairs before/after event and giving rides to fellow ndnz on the bus and sponsoring school programs and sponsoring powwow specials (i like sponsoring tiny tots or plain clothes fancy dance for fun) or sell frybread for Indian Education or hang posters and all that......and part of my world is sometimes cooking or helping make things or donate when someone passes that i may not have even known/met but they are in my community or related to someone in my community,,,,,THAT'S what it means to be an NDN....back to first sentence.....exploiting willing women is a recurring theme here

this rant was meant for whoever stumbles here and is enamored by all the hocus-pocus coming from these native or native passing people.......check their background and if you still want....if you want to waste your time and money that bad to feel native i suggest you book a weeklong trip to sedona or something

sorry for the rant.....kinda
