It gets worse Vance. The leader, Jerry Edwards or "Yonv Edwards", shut down their yahoo group, seemingly to hide evidence of a possible crime, threats against a former member. Not only that, but all the Nuage indoctrination he tried to put over members in there.

O'Siyo Sidanelv ale Sunale Osda,
....Do I say that because i am full of Gisi and on some power trip. NO! I say it because the power that we experience is the that which flows from the Source of the All that is....
We must heal in the Self through the Understanding....
Diversion, that was the ploy of the ego to keep us looking for validation from outside sources. Sneaky little critter. It is fighting for it's life. It knows the moment you realize who you truly are, it will become a mute point....
It is the Fabric that holds all things together.
...The understanding that once it clicks in your mind and activates in your heart, there is nothing you cannot do or we cannot do together....
Our job is to follow the Light...
I want to say again what a blessing that Charlie Lame Deer and the Buffalo River Band are now One with the Cherokees of Kentucky Chickamauga....

Subject: [CKYBeginnings] Land
O'Siyo Sidanelv,
....I am so proud of this Family. We had a need to meet a down Payment of 2000 dollars for the land. I want you to know, it is covered and a little towards our first mortgage payment....
As Frank Looking Eagle said a while back, please don't stop now.... We already have a few pledges and a few folks doing 25 or so a month. This is how we make the payments from now on.
Those of you, and you know who you are, who stepped up to the pump to meet the needs, please let us know if it is your intention to have a cabin on the grounds. Also, anyone who is planning to be here and live here after we get that far, please, let us know....

And in their final message in their yahoo group, he defended at length, over half of his message, using a cult leader and imposter's book, Diane Fisher AKA "Dhyani Yawahoo".

Subject: [CKYBeginnings] Final message
First, I apologize for setting everyone's settings to "individual emails". It is a one time thing so that you will receive the final message to the Beginnings List. This will be the last message sent to this list....
I have at times told people there is some good information in the book, "Voices of our Ancestors" by a lady who calls herself Diyani Ywahoo. I have always told folks that there are some Buddhist things in the book, but the origin stories and some of the information on the Priesthood is good in my perception. I have always qualified such things where there has been any controversy.
Based on that bit of information, it is also being said that we are harming people and teaching things that are new age. Well, there are a lot of things in this world, and truth is found in many places. It can even be found intermingled with things that are not true. We believe that the Creator has given us all the spirit of discernment, so we do not advocate censorship of any information.
But let's face it, anything can be told in any way, ? It is much like the bible, interpretation is the rule....
Now, back to closing this list. It is all we can do to take care of our Band, the CKYC. The experiment of the Beginnings list has proven that it cannot be done in an open forum with an open door policy....

"It cannot be done in an open forum."
In other words, he's tightening his control even further. No dissent, none at all.
