I took a quick look at her Facebook page and had a good laugh at the apparent oxymoron "Powwow Lodge". Oh my, that certainly is a red flag. And she's from the UK.

SunJay (Sarah-Jane) Owen's Profile
About

Celtic ancestry by birth, I am an artist, healer, teacher and medicine woman following in the lineage of my grandmother as a sacred wisdom and medicine keeper.
Early childhood recollections of a Native American life led me to this continent where I continued my studies as a shamanic practitioner with many traditional teachers and respected elders. My journey continues as an artisan, offering healing work, often living like a gypsy - traveling between city and forest to teach and play as an active musician, art professor, retreat facilitator and contributor to the drum circle and healing community.
Certified shamanic practitioner and sound healer, art, yoga and sacred dance instructor, naturalist, herbalist, plant intuitive and aromatherapist.

Here she claims what she's doing is Chumash medicine, calls herself a medicine woman and other titles, tries to speak Lakota, and uses Wiccan catchphrases.

She mixes Celtic symbols with explanations lifted from Wikipedia and garnished with tobacco ties. None of these things go together in the ways of actual, traditional people:

And here she informs us there is one "Native American Tradition":

These drums are as synthetic as her "teachings".

She is listing her products as Native American. There is a place on Etsy to report her. We should also report her to IACB.

Falsely Advertising her products as Native American is a criminal violation of the American Indian Arts and Crafts Act: https://www.doi.gov/iacb/act

"The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-644) is a truth-in-advertising law that prohibits misrepresentation in marketing of Indian arts and crafts products within the United States. It is illegal to offer or display for sale, or sell any art or craft product in a manner that falsely suggests it is Indian produced, an Indian product, or the product of a particular Indian or Indian Tribe or Indian arts and crafts organization, resident within the United States. For a first time violation of the Act, an individual can face civil or criminal penalties up to a $250,000 fine or a 5-year prison term, or both. If a business violates the Act, it can face civil penalties or can be prosecuted and fined up to $1,000,000."
