"Grandmother Gayle" is NOT a member of any Federally Recognized Tribe.  She is NOT recognized as a "Grandmother" "Medicine Person"  "Clan Leader" or even as an Indian by the real Snowbird Indian Community!  She has NOT accounted to numerous donors for major contributions of cash and goods to her "Snowbird Indian School"  and she should not get away with it!
