“With pretendians, we’ve noticed a lot of red flags,” said Native American writer and activist Jacqueline Keeler, who first exposed Littlefeather. “One of those is shifting of Native identities. You can see that with [Marroquin] Norby and her shifting claims.”
Lianna Costantino, a co-founder of the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds, which tracks pretendians, agreed. The nonprofit added the genealogical research compiled by Griffin to its website on Saturday.
“They [pretendians] constantly shift from one tribe to another and claim to be indigenous from Mexico, which is a lot harder to prove,” Costantino told The Post Friday. “She [Marroquin Norby] has nothing to show that she has a connection to the Purepecha in Mexico.”

“The Met really needs to educate themselves about American Indian sovereignty,” Costantino* said. “They are so obsessed with DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] that they are not doing their due diligence, and when they don’t do the work, they are doing a disservice to the Native community, to people who have suffered erasure. They are just erasing them again.”*According to the article, Lianna Costantino is a co-founder of the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds, which tracks “pretendians.”
