The complaints of legitimate Cherokee tribal citizens and other American Indian people are being silenced, ignored and disrespected as pretendian frauds Erika Wurth and Allison Hedge Coke are platformed and protected at the Greensboro Bound Festival in Greensboro, North Carolina, happening THIS WEEKEND, May 18-21.  They are slated to speak on May 20 at 11 am (Allison) and 4 pm (Erika).

Dabney Sanders, the director of the event, literally hung up on the director of the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds ("TAAF", an intertribal anti-fraud task force) the moment she introduced herself.  Many of Greensboro Bound's board of directors received emails from TAAF and others requesting to begin a dialogue - all were ignored.  

Greensboro Bound's DEI statement says, in part:  "...we engage in conversations that confront systemic racism and other forms of oppression."  And "We commit to creating and holding ourselves accountable to more equitable practices and processes." 

Kind of hard to do that when you hang up on the BIPOC people trying to point out the racism and oppression that they are enabling.....

This is not an instance of someone with vague ancient American Indian ancestry who is trying to "reconnect".  Erika Wurth and Allison Hedge Coke have ZERO American Indian ancestry.  The proof of that, backed by hard evidence, is shown on the TAAF website at: https://tribalallianceagainstfrauds.org/

Look under the tab "Investigations". 

Data speaks to data, and neither Erika nor Allison have ANY connection whatsoever in their families to ANY American Indian person.   Anyone who thinks our research is "flawed" is welcome to try to prove that.  They will not succeed.  

Please let Greensboro Bound, and all their other harbors, know that you do not support American Indian identity fraud by denouncing Erika Wurth and Allison Hedge Coke with your signature here.  

The theft of American Indian identity and the subsequent distortion of our cultures by non-American Indian people who will NEVER have an American Indian perspective on ANYTHING, along with their centering to the exclusion of legitimately American Indian people, is tantamount to genocide, because it distorts and eventually erases our legitimately American Indian perspectives.  Our identity, which includes our culture, is all many of us have left.  

One of five genocide tactics as defined by the United Nations:  "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part."

When an organization deliberately allows non-American Indians to fraudulently pose as American Indians, write about us as if they ARE us, speak about us, distort our history and culture, and kick us to the curb in the process, erasing us by replacing us with frauds, that is surely deliberate and intended to bring about our physical destruction, in whole or in part, because it WILL eventually erase us. 

Please support and become allies to real American Indian people.  Don't enable pretendian frauds and thieves.

Thank you!
