Please note that Tim is a Native  Spiritual Director, not a licensed mental health professional.

http://www.bainbridgepsychology.com/AboutTim.html

This sentence is buried in a paragraph and potential clients might not really understand this. As far as I can tell, this means he has no oversight, other than his Ph.D. partner at Bainbridge Institute for Integrative Psychology. Sandra Paulsen, Ph.D. is a white woman who "has chosen to walk the Native American spiritual path." She does have an active psychologist license.
 
His WA state counselor registration expired in 2006.

Tim is a member of Buck Ghosthorses's group Sungleska Oyate in Goldendale, WA.

His Tiospia, or extended Sun Dance family, are Bear Medicine Healers, who dance in South East Washington.

Tim Iistowanohpataakiiwa, M.A., is a Native American spiritual director in the plains tradition and Sun Dancer. He integrates the somatic “felt sense” of the sacred path in his work through Canku Wakan, Sacred Road spiritual direction.   Sandra offers psychotherapy, including EMDR, Ego State Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Early Trauma and Neglect Clearing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, workshops and consulting. Tim offers Native American spiritual direction. 

http://www.bainbridgepsychology.com/index.html

Tim was in law enforcement for 30 years, but always practiced spiritual direction in a lay capacity. Later, he received his Masters Degree in Divinity at the University of British Columbia at Vancouver, in the School of Theology. Tim follows the teachings of Christ as well as the traditional ways.     Tim finds it a privilege to be a Native American Spiritual Guide in the Plains Tradition to travelers from any walk of life, Native and non-Native. One need only come with integrity to the walk, and honoring of Creator and of the People whose traditions these are. Please note that Tim is a Native  Spiritual Director, not a licensed mental health professional.  Tim does spiritual direction in person in Bainbridge Island, or on the phone. He also gives workshops and lectures. For more information, go to Canku Wakan to learn more about Tim's Native Spiritual Direction. Tim was a small bore rifle shooter on the US Olympic Team.  He was on the Governor of California's Top Twenty Marksman List for five years. He is the 2008 State of Washington Small Bore Prone Champion Shooter. As an NRA Rifle Instructor, he also offers shooting coaching for those seeking to increase their home security. Protection of the People is part of the warrior pathway, but of course need not be part of every spiritual path even on the Red Road.

When I turned 65,  Tim Iistowanohpataakiiwa, a Native American friend and elder, gave me one of the most important gifts of my life. In a simple native ceremony attended by a number of friends and colleagues, he initiated me as an elder in the human community and commemorated my graduation with the gift of an eagle feather from the headdress he had worn during his participation in the sacred Sundance festival.

He is an Episcopal reverend, non parochial http://www.norcalepiscopal.org/iistowanohpataakiiwa-timHe does some sort of wood working https://www.linkedin.com/pub/tim-iistowanohpataakiiwa/31/542/94b

Spiritual direction is provided on a fee-for-service basis. Fees range from $70 to $90 an hour, on a sliding scale basis. In keeping with the Old Way, there is no charge for traditional Native ceremonies which may be part of the journey for some travelers as they progress down their road.

[Epiphany]

He is registered to vote in WA state under Timothy Iistowanohpataakiiwa, born 1946.

On his classmates.com profile:

I am retired from Law enforcement, went back to school at University of British Columbia and got my Masters. Now I am working as a Priest within the Episcopal Church. I have a church here on the Reservation. My name in school was Cantrell, but I have gone back to my real name, Iistowanohpataakiiwa. I can be reached at the big Y message system under the name istowan

He was Timothy L Cantrell.

[Epiphany]

Timothy Lawrence Cantrell born 1946 Kings, California. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VLN5-SXW

Birth date matches WA state voter record, so this is same guy.

IISTOWANOHPATAAKIIWA   TIMOTHY         BAINBRIDGE IS   2010-FEB-09   1946-NOV-21

The Cantrell side of his genealogy is available on ancestry.com. First immigrant from the 1660s, born Derbyshire, England. I skimmed through their work, did not see any sign of Native American heritage there.

His father was Theophilus Jacob "T J" Cantrell, born in Arkansas.
 http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Cantrell&GSiman=1&GScid=338197&GRid=67072653&

Will look over his mother's heritage next.

[Epiphany]

His mother Pauline Aleta Price, born and died in California. This particular Price line were also early immigrants. Her entire family is also very well documented, with photographs and many records, on ancestry.com. I've skimmed through, I only see white listings in census and other records.

His father's obit:

Auburn resident T. J. Cantrell died at home on Dec. 1, 2001. He was 73 years old. Born on April 14, 1928, in Salem, Ark., he grew up in Moko, Ark. During the Korean War, he served in the U.S. Army, earning the rank of sergeant first class in less than two years. While attending college in Southern California in 1954, he met and married Pauline Price. They lived in Hollywood while Cantrell finished college, then moved to Placer County in 1976 when he took a job as the county's director of communications. Mr. Cantrell accepted a job with Yolo County in 1979, but his service to Placer County continued for more than 25 years through volunteer work with the county Communication Reserve and Search & Rescue. Mr. Cantrell was a member of the First Assembly of God Church in Auburn and worked with the Royal Rangers of Auburn. Survivors include wife Pauline; children Timothy Cantrell of Lincoln, Susan Cantrell of Dunedin, Fla., and Melanie Cantrell of Auburn; sisters Chloe Sanders, Cecil Mae Martin, Koma Keirns; and brothers Austin Bridges and Earl Cantrell. Friends are invited to attend a visitation to be held from 4 to 8 p.m. today at Auburn Lassila Funeral Chapel, 551 Grass Valley Highway. A celebration of Mr. Cantrell?s life will take place at 10 a.m. Thursday in Lassila. Afterward, a gathering for fellowship and continued sharing of memories will be held at the First Assembly of God Church, 4200 Grass Valley Highway. A private burial is planned at New Auburn Cemetery.

So Cantrell is lying about ancestry and his place of birth being on the Blackfoot rez on not just the Bainbridge site, but on church sites.
http://peacelutheran.podbean.com/2014/02/

Being part of Mattern/Ghosthorse's fraud outfit, and charging for "spiritual direction" moves him to Frauds.

Still badly needed, definitive evidence about the allegations of what pushed him out of Suquamish.

[Epiphany]

His name was given to him by his Grandmother Ida, and it means, Man Who Captures the Long Knife.

http://www.bainbridgepsychology.com/AboutTim.html

His maternal grandmother was Ida Mae Fitzpatrick. She was born in Arkansas, died California. On her birth certificate she is listed white. Her father born is Kentucky, white. Her mother born in Arkansas, white. A family history researcher has uploaded the birth certificate to an ancestry.com public tree. Many researchers have posted many family trees on all Tim's families, it is impressive how much work people are doing and how many family photos are up.

I don't know when Tim began using his current name. It was Cantrell in public records in California 1993. Iistowanohpataa in 2000 Lincoln, California.

In 2005 he was licensed as clergy, this listed in the Journal of the Diocese of Olympia, regarding their 2005 convention.

[debbieredbear]

So far I have found out that St. Marks Episcopal Church in Seattle jerked his license in 2007/2008 because of some of his antics. I was told that calling St. Marks would probably confirm if he was reinstated or not. I can't do that right now, or even this week, as we have a lot going on. What I can do is speak to one of the people who I was told would have info, when I see her Wednesday evening. If she comes to the dinner I will be at. I also may be able to get a hold of a counselor here in Suquamish who counseled 2 women that were involved in the incident that caused him to leave.

Oh, and this Sandra Paulsen lady? She was/is his landlady, but people suspected that they were more than landlady/renter. And even when she was around, he was very flirty with ladies. Oh, and he liked showing off his sundance scars.  ick

[Epiphany]

One family resarcher on ancestry.com states that Tim's mother married twice and that Cantrell was Tim's step father, raised him from about age 8 after his father had died. This claim says that his bio  father was born in Texas and died in California. But they don't have records posted for all this. And records are not guarantee of biological fact anyway.

But the facts remain that he was born in California, is part of the fraudulent Ghosthorse/ Mattern group, and he is selling supposed Native "spiritual direction". His maternal grandmother was white and would not be the source of his name, as he claims. And Debbie is working on what is known of him here in Washington state.

[Epiphany]

I was able to confirm that his mother was married before Cantrell:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K8V1-N5Z

Time wise this could be Tim's father. This man was white in census, born Texas, died California.

[Epiphany]

I should clarify my earlier comment about family trees on ancestry.com - no one who has posted their own tree has explicitly posted Tim's name, since he is still living his name on public member created trees is marked " Private".
But there are many individual records that have Tim's and other family members info.

Tim (Timothy Lawrence) was born in 1946. His mother had married Lawrence Wentzel a year prior. Mr. Wentzel's heritage was ancestors from Germany and Austria who had settled in Texas. He had served honorably in military.

Lawrence Wentzel died in 1953.

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=wentzel&GSbyrel=all&GSdy=1953&GSdyrel=in&GSob=n&GRid=74585463&df=all&

Tim's mother then is said to have married T.J. Cantrell when Tim was about 8. Mr. Cantrell's obit lists him as son, Tim's birth record says his surname is Cantrell, as do other records and Tim himself.

[debbieredbear]

I found an amail for St. Mark's and someone just emailed me that they will pass my email onto the person who can get me that information.

[debbieredbear]

So, as it happened, I was able to speak to someone from St. Mark's. And I am waiting for a call from someone higher up. But I did find out this: While Tim is an Episcopal priest, he is NOT PERMITTED to do anythingas, a priest in this diocese. The person I spoke to, is well aware of who he is, and has seen the website. He didn't want to say a whole lot because he felt I needed to speak to this other person. He also wanted to know if Tim is acting as a priest. I said I honestly could not answer that, but would tell him if I knew. Or found out anything. He also questioned who I was and why I wanted to know. I esplained I was just trying to be sure that people were not being spiritually abused.

[Epiphany]

Tim did preach at this event this year https://m.facebook.com/events/950978808253497/ - I will keep an eye out for any other public priest activity. Maybe preaching is permitted.

Land blessing as Father Tim http://www.northkitsapherald.com/lifestyle/148178275.html

Jan 4, 2014 he served communion at a church, he has a photo of himself doing so on FB. He states in comments that the photo was taken that day.

[Epiphany]

Just so folks know, the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia covers all of western Washington state. http://www.ecww.org/about-diocese St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle is the seat of the bishop of this diocese. So this is a large region in which Tim is not supposed to act as priest.
