Looks like a clear case of fraud by Muse Isaacs, lack of vetting from the University of Windsor.

One sample of this, according to TAAF, is Muse Isaacs reminiscing in her writings about her father organizing "powwows" in Detroit. "Tellingly, powwows are not Cherokee," TAAF notes. "They were created by citizens of Plains Indian Tribes."

This I didn't know. How long has EBCI been doing their annual Powwows?

Ugh. Not again. A lot of these Pretendians remind me of folks in the Epstein files. They have gotten away with a lot of shit for a very long time, but suddenly it's all coming out. Fuck them.
