The Oklevueha Native American Church, http://www.nativeamericanchurch.net/NAC/docs.htm, successfully stood up for Religious Freedom with the assistance of the Utah Federal Defenders Office. Ending 8 years of ‘illegal’ tactics, sponsored by the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5059860 ), through the state of Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, to discredit and outlaw American Native Spirituality.

Utah Federal Defenders Office (UFDO) had the co-founders of Oklevueha NAC take DNA tests with the results conclusively proving their American Native Heritage. UFDO also requested the State of Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff to submit to the UFDO exculpatory evidence, http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1088463, that he had been withholding from the U.S. Attorney’s and Federal Court. With the truthful and newly discovered evidence and with both sets of U.S. Attorneys (Prosecutors and Defenders) petitioning the court to drop all indictments ‘prior’ to the ‘scheduled’ evidential hearing the court granted their request; setting a precedent in the history of the United States judicial system.

The most important issue to be uncovered in this eight year stand is the innate goodness of our government that is often influenced and clouded by greed laden and pride full constituents that temporally trample charitable and humble constituents constitutional rights and protections.

With good intentioned and disciplined work by the Utah Federal Defenders Office over 120 years of atrocities perpetrated upon American Native people, in the State of Utah and the entire inter-mountain west, has been clearly and concisely exposed in the State of Utah.

For this purpose Tribal and Spiritual American Native leaders thanked the Utah Federal Defenders Office in the most sacred manner practiced by American Native Spiritual beliefs, http://people.tribe.net/cd4acf17-fa5e-4569-80f2-ade296081b23/photos/fb80740d-ea7e-44d9-aa22-0c2cc004d91e .

Utah Federal Defenders Office officials could not attend the Sacred Pipe Ceremony because of Department policy, thus the Director and a federal investigator received a Peyote Stitched Eagle Feather and Sage Stick from American Native Spiritual Leaders after the completion of the ceremony and on behalf of both the U.S. Defending and Prosecuting Attorneys.

*Thus ending the Utah County Attorney Kay Bryson, State of Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, State of Utah Director of Indian Affairs Forest Cuch, Federal Court Judge Ted Stewart who accepted the hear say lies from the State of Utah to grant a multitude of federal indictments under the Patriot Act, LDS Church controlled State of Utah Legislators and John Echohawk’s NARF conspiracy, http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/241.html,) of over ten years to undermining the civil liberties of the Native American Church and its attempt to deny the Native American Church, spiritual leaders and members of their Constitutional Protections and Rights.*

Historical, archaeological and anthropological portrayals of Native American experiences have focused on the decimation of indigenous populations through rampant disease, cultural extinction and military conquest. But a new book by Stanford’s Michael Wilcox argues that we’ve got the story all wrong.
