Piff, her hair color has definitely changed to a darker shade.
There is so much that does not add up when you read her history on her website.
As you pointed out, Piff, she changed her heritage. It is even different on two places on her website, and not just on history capture:
Rebekah is a true Arizona native who grew up in the Verde Valley and began studying and practicing Native American history, beliefs, and shamanism from a very young age. On her father’s side, she is Blackfoot and Crow, and on her mothers side, she is Seminole. Rebekah also received a Life Coaching certification in 2007.

http://sedonashamanicjourneys.com/Rebekah’s blood lines on her Mothers side date back to the Blackfoot tribe on her grandmothers side and the Seminole tribe on her grandfathers side. Her fathers lineage is unknown.
http://sedonashamanicjourneys.com/about-2/This is a brief timeline of her history:
She grew up near Sedona (in a financially poor, but loving environment), fascinated with Native American culture.
She had two children out of wedlock at the age of 15 and 18.
In 2006, she was working for corporate, but wanted to do some more purposeful work.
She became certified as a life coach in 2007.
She starting having dreams and visions and left a new house, a crumbling nine year relationship and moved to Sedona, which is what her visions were urging her to do.
In 2009, she took one 13 year old child (the other was in foster care) and moved to Sedona.
The older son gave her a grandson when she was 33, but he got in trouble and ended up in prison and the mother of the child did not want to have anything to do with her.
In Sedona, she met lots of interesting people and spent a year and a half healing.
She became a tour guide and this is what is really interesting:
She became a tour guide and began to study about the surrounding area, including the land, the vortexes, geology, Native American history, the plants, animals and so on. She has taken hundreds of visitors out on the land and practiced the same ceremonies that her teachers showed her. She learned how to heal with the Medicine Wheel, the natural healing energy of the Vortexes and prayer.
(bolding mine)So, would these teachers be:
studied as an apprentice with Shamans and elders from the Navajo, Hopi, Yurock and Lakota Tribes
or are they her ancestors of the Blackfoot, Crow, and Seminole?
and could this possibly be Medicine Bear who does tours with her:
She fell in love with an old friend and now lives happily in Prescott Arizona. Both of them are from the same tribe and share the same Native American beliefs.
http://sedonashamanicjourneys.com/about/Medicine Bear is with the Blackfoot tribe.
Bear was born and raised in North Dakota. He is an eagle dancer and elder of the Blackfoot tribe.
