Her first claims when she came on the scene are definitely incorrect. She's never been "made shaman over the Sioux and Salish tribes". That is definitely a fact, one that she has backpedaled on recently and even confirms herself. Her latest story is that she believed it to be true. However, she's very patronizing in persisting that her claim was wrong. It's not the Salish Tribal Council that denounces her claim. It's the Salish Elders and the Salish Cultural Committee. These are not governmental folks, but citizens of their nation who actually practice and preserve their language and culture. It's these people who've never heard of the conveniently dead "Falling Feathers", and also have no idea who her family is. Her maiden name Kreps isn't carried by any Salish people. The Salish Cultural Committee does not hide their culture. In fact, they invite anyone who wishes to learn to come and do so and consider their culture and language a treasure. They are a western coastal people who's culture does not resemble the Lakota people (a plains tribe) that Kiesha most often co-opted (i.e. the pictures of her praying with a pipe, buckskin clothing..men's clothing at that).

Her misinformation goes back way beyond her supposed initiation (which is also false...these things are not kept secret in either community and involve a lifetime commitment to their people and the land these ways are tied to....not a fly by night "initiation".....attending a sweat and smoking a pipe does not make you a medicine man. Among Lakota people, women don't take any role that would resemble that before menopause). Here's some of her art and a bio page created by Kiesha. [link to www.artwanted.com] On this page she claims her art was commissioned by the Postal Service for the Jack Dempsey Stamp. She claims this happened at the age of 23. She's 33 now so if we go by 2010 when she turned 33 that means the art was commissioned in 2000. The problem with that is the Jack Dempsey Stamp was released in 1998. [link to stamps2go.com]

A full two years earlier. If you also check out the bio you'll notice many other claims of books, CD's, awards. I challenge you to try and find these books and awards...they don't exist...I've already looked.

Her handlers Adam DeArmon (aka Adam Yellowbird) is another cultural appropriator...he's also denounced by the Lakota for selling sweats etc. He's the organizer behind the "Return of the Ancestors" gathering and made some damn good $$$ off of it. Another one is in her own "Return of the Ancestors" video. A man named John Kimmey sitting right next to her. He claims to be a prophecykeeper for the Hopi....but he's not Hopi AND there is also a very public statement by the Hopi people telling him to cease claiming he's their wisdomkeeper.

I happen to be a fan of love as well and I live by it...but the things that she says...that she says give her legitimacy....are all lies. The "predictions" she made about 2010 haven't come true and in fact most of "revelations" about things that would've become well known...are already well-known...many of them are episodes on different series on the History Channel and Discovery.

If you choose to follow her that's ok...but at least be AWAKE enough to understand that she's been pulling a lot of legs to get people to listen to her message about pole shifts, Atlantis, aliens and 2012 (a subject Don Alejandro has come out publicly disagreeing with her on...then she flip flopped positions)

Use a little discernment. God gave you a mind to use...no to lose. One other piece of wisdom...if everyone in the room agrees on everything, that means only one person is doing the thinking.

Have a great day.
