>> “They are a bunch of white New Age fakes pretending to be Indians so that they can exploit peyote and alternative medicine quackery of the sort that a certain poster here gobbles up like candy.” <<

That statement sums up your non-existent honor nicely.
Truth would gag you were it to flow from your lips. Preparation H will sooth your sore throats well.

So which part do you object to?
The fact that the Nemenah Tribe is a fake tribe? The Bureau of Indian Affairs has been around since 1806 and somehow never ran across this tribe of suburbanite New Age peyote gobblers.
Or that you are you upset that I noticed your affinity for medical quackery of the sort that the fake Indian tribe deals in?
Seems like it’s a perfectly accurate statement:
“Based in Stockton, Missouri, the band claims to be a Native American tribe with about 7,000 members, but is not recognized as a tribe by the federal government. Its “Elected Principle Medicine Chief,” Philip Cloudpilar Landis, claims to be a descendant of a woman who was ritually adopted by Nez Perce Chief Joseph. The Nez Perce say his claim is fraudulent.
Chief Cloudpilar has been convicted of grand theft and theft by deceptive practices in two states for his marketing of “alternative medicine.” Raised a Mormon, he discovered his Native American heritage while serving prison time. After his release he formed the Nemenhah Band. Its motto is “Our religion is our medicine.â€
Cloudpilar charges $250 for a person to be spiritually adopted into his band plus $100 a year membership fee. His webpage has many natural remedies and craft items for sale, which are described as “sacraments.””

I’ll put it less gently. It’s a tribe of quacks selling quack remedies to gullible suckers.
