From ndn-aim newsgroup:

"We have received word from Wilma Mankiller; she is not in any way associated with the Sweetgrasslodge or these individuals. Sweetgrasslodge is hereby informed that the Cherokee Nation does not take such misrepresentation lightly and is not looked upon fondly by their law and justice department. We have heard verbal responses from the Creek Nation and from some Ojibwa. Everyone would like to know Turltlehearts' clan and tribal affiliation with the Ojibwa. Mis Turtleheart is so quick to seek protection of the law we suggest she and the Sweetgrasslodge officials check: http://law.com/ and lookup the laws on misrepresentation, esp., as referred to the Internet.
