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.”

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.

This is not in any way about Chief Cloudpilar.

Its about your apparent belief that it is OK for government thugs to order parents to offer up their children to the priests of Medical Murder.

The practice of oncology is regulated slow painful death to increase the wealth of its practitioners and the pharmaceutical poison manufacturers.

Natural practice extends life and produces cures.
