Jay North aka "Mountain Chief"

He is clearly non-Indian but his gofundme plea makes him look like he is Blackfeet. He wrote a book about Leonard Mountain Chief and claims he was adopted by him.

The link for Jay of Jah:  http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=480.msg2212#msg2212

He has a website for organic gardening:  http://www.goingorganic.com/

These are his books:  http://oneglobepress.com/

From his GoFundMe page, he makes it out to seems as if he is homeless so apparently the healing, organic gardening and writing did not work out too well for him.

I am in need of some essential items for survival. I am an elder that needs to get out of the cold. I require an RV or an apartment. My body requires healthful foods and a few important supplements for healing. I am hoping to live long enough to complete three additional books and work to increase book sales. My books can be seen at One Globe Press. Please request a FREE copy of Open Spaces-it is important that I share these words.

And he appears to be equating himself with Kahlil Gibran here:

Quote
Khalil Gibran, world famous author of The Prophet and 107 other books, died in New York City of a broken heart over his books not being accepted. He was supported by two women that paid for his flat and meager provisions. If he were alive today he would be a multi-millionaire.

I wasn't sure about that claim.  According to Wikipedia:

Quote
Gibran died in New York City on April 10, 1931, at the age of 48. The causes were cirrhosis of the liver and tuberculosis.

Now, if he could just find those "two women" to support him!  It looks like he has done pretty well so far.  He has collected $500 from 12 people in 11 days, but his goal is $20,000.
