This is my response to NAFPS:
Hello, my name is Crescence Allen. To call me a fraud is a mean, petty and hurtful statement when you have never met me. I question your ethical grounding. My professional ethics would never allow me to slander someone I never met.
I am requesting that you take down the slanderous post about me from your site. Everything I represent about myself is absolutely true. My credentials are listed with the Department of Education the State of Missouri. Whatever your attitudes are about Nemenhah it has nothing to do with me. I have no reason to defend Nemenhah because we have freedom of religion in the United States.
If you believe I have done something fraudulent then come to my house and say it to my face, bring your proof, or sue me. The site now has my email address contact me. I would find it very interesting to meet you.
Or I’ll come to you and you can prove to me why I am such a fraud. If you can’t do this then take the slanderous article down. The ridiculous idea that I am a fraud because I have not filled in the honors section of the healthgrades website (which is not a professional organization any way) confirms that your article about me is fake, undocumented tripe. By the way, Boards certifications apply to the medical profession. I am a PhD in psychology: that is a doctorate of philosophy in the area of psychology.
I like Native American culture and I respect it. What I don’t like is an arrogant person who pretends to be saving the world from frauds at my expense. Was it a slow news day so you pulled my name out of a hat?
If you are offended by my use of the words Medicine Woman, get over yourself, you don’t own the words. There is no legal registry of Medicine Women. These are English words and I am speaking to my readers. I have a right to my religion and to my culture; even a culture of one, just me. By the way, I use my real name, where is yours?
Yes, you really were that lazy that you didn't bother to read what was literally right in front of you.
Get a dictionary. You know as little about the law as you do about Native religions.
You were neither defamed nor slandered. We correctly point out you are an imposter posing as a Native medicine woman, an exploiter working with fellow frauds in a fraudulent group posing for profit as a Native church, led by another imposter (this one a convicted serial con man who did time for it) falsely posing as Native.
You know so little about Native peoples you refer to "Native culture." There isn't one except in the imagination of racist exploiters like yourself. It's Native cultures, plural, thousands of them.
And you know nothing but the stereotypes fed you by your imposter of a leader who hustled you for his own profit so that you in turn can hustle other naive non-Natives who fall for your schlock and hucksterism posing as Native.
You've thrown your temper tantrum and decided to give your White-splaining lecture, talking down to people who actually know the cultures in your condescending racist manner. That's too bad. Now everyone can see your "I'm so spiritual" pose is a phony front.
We have never removed a thread or deleted posts just because imposters and exploiters like yourself find that their profit margin made at the expense of Native peoples getting threatened. We've also never slandered, defamed, or libeled anyone. Our criticism and exposes are always on target, and that's what angers and terrifies hustlers and ignorant people like yourselves.
You can still post publicly, give your side of matters, defend your exploitation if you can. Your only real defense is your ignorance though. Now that you've been educated as to how you got taken in, you could do the right thing and change your ways, leave that phony "church" and urge others to do so. We doubt you will though. I'll bet the money and your ego are both just too big.
ETA: You could also do the right thing and apologize, make reparations to your victims, your clients who were taken in and fed falsehoods.
You could be honest and admit your PhD didn't hep you spot a phony imitation of white Mormon prophecy passing as Native.
You could admit you didn't do anything as simple as google your con man leader and look up his criminal convictions and his nearly causing the death of a small boy.
You didn't notice his being specifically denounced by the tribe he falsely claims, and having no Native ancestry whatsoever.
Instead you got taken in by his bad Halloween costume version of Native regalia.
Or you could have read about cultural appropriation and how what you're doing is morally wrong and deeply racist, and how younger generations increasingly see that.
But that would have required reflection, you know, that thing psychologists ask their clients to do. And you've already fallen for quack ideas before like "past life regression hypnosis."
Seemingly your PhD training was not much good at teaching you critical thinking, or basic common sense or morality or ethics. One might say you deserve to lose your license, but you lied about that too and don't have one.
