STATEMENT
BY RAIN
Periodically, allegations are made against people who work in or with the Tribal community. Some arise from rumor and innuendo, some from a lack of clarity or misrepresentation in reports, some from genuine confusion, and some from tabloid sensationalism and worse.
It has come to my attention that I am now the subject of such, joining the likes of Suzan Shown Harjo (Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient), Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Sovereign Bodies Institute founder Annita Lucchesi, Johnny Depp, and hundreds of others on a so-called “list” that is described as being constructed from the “use of lateral violence, colonial trauma, and colonial recognition as weaponized structures.” Should you have any interest in this gibberish, the central “claims” being made about me are addressed in the affidavits and statements that can be read in full on this page. Thanks for visiting the site. Now I’m going back to work.
