Woman at the Edge Two Worlds Lynn Andrews
Here you will find the TRUTH about Lynn Andrews, taken straight from REAL Indian webpages, from REAL Tribal leaders, REAL Indian activists lists & articles on AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURE THEFT. FACTS, NOT FICTION! And if you doubt it, CALL THE OFFICES OF THE TRIBES THESE PEOPLE CLAIM TO REPRESENT OR SAY THEY ARE MEMBERS OF! CALL THE PEOPLE! THEY SAY THESE BOOKS ARE FULL OF FAKE TEACHINGS, NOT ME! THE TRIBES SAY SO! CALL THEM! Site #1- Lynn Andrews has been instrumental in propagating the non-existent "Sisterhood of the Shields". She has been shown to peddle fantasy, and heads the list of "fake medicine people." Site #2- By far, the biggest business in New Age appropriation of indigenous spirituality transpires in the publishing industry where plastic medicine authors are big sellers. Perhaps the most successful, not to mention notorious, is Lynn Andrews. Andrews has been dubbed the "Beverly Hills Shaman" by some of her New Age supporters and the less flattering epithet "Beverly Hills Witch" by a number of Native Americans criticizing her commercial exploitation of indigenous spiritual traditions. Site # 3 - Shields carried NO SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE, but were held in great respect, for they depicted the high deeds of valorous warriors. The making and use of shields by Sedonia Cahill and others like Lynn Andrews is another misappropriation, distortion and abuse of meaningful Indian ways torn out of their contexts. There are many individuals like Andrews teaching the making of shields, as if it were an Indian ritual or ceremonial act of great spiritual significance. The fact is that no Westerner, European or Caucasian carries in his or her psyche the collective memory of American Indians of this continent. To pretend to that memory is a blatant falsehood which cannot be maintained. Both common sense & scholarly expertise recognize such falsehood. Site #4- Indians are concerned that bits & pieces of their ceremonies are used & manipulated without discretion in an ignorant manner as to their consequences. They are concerned that such actions, based on slavish imitation & improprieties, can cause damage to others, and that the very people who speak so loudly of their concern for mental health are engaging in unauthentic spiritual practices....as in books by Lynn Andrews, Jamie Sams.... Native American spiritual leaders are fully aware of these dangers. Site #5- This situation has been long & bitterly attacked by legitimate Indian scholars, like Vine Deloria, Jr. , & by activists such as the American Indian Movement (AIM) , Survival of American Indians (SAIL) , & the late Gerald Wilkenson, head of the National Indian Youth Council (NIYC). Nonetheless, the list of phony books like Dyhani Ywahoo, Lynn Andrews' , Jamie Sams, Sun Bear, Wallace Black Elk & others claiming alternately to debunk or expose the innermost meanings of Indian spirituality continues to grow as publishers recognize a sure-fire money-maker when they see one. Most lately, ostensibly scholarly publishers like the University of Chicago Press have joined the parade, generating travesties such as University of Colorado Professor Sam Gill's _Mother Earth: An American Story. IF YOU DOUBT THIS, I DARE YOU, CALL THE TRIBES! ASK THEM WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO TEACH OUR INDIAN CULTURES! IT WON'T BE ANDREWS!Read full review
