Kiesha Crowther (b. 1978), aka ''Little Grandmother'' is an artist and poet from Sanford, Colorado<ref>http://www.artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=22948&Tab=Bio</ref>, who claims to be of native american descent<ref>http://www.tribeofmanycolors.net</ref>. Her website states she has been initiated as shaman at age 30 by a Native American elder and that she is a Wisdom Keeper of the ''tribe of many colors''. However, the details of this story change over time and are adapted to what is exposed<ref>http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=2871.780</ref>. She also performs indigenous ceremonies for cash for a mostly white and european audience, which is similar to asking money for a mass. Further, she engages in the [[2012]] hype and other New-Age esoterics. Background checks revealed neither she nor any of her ancestors are known in the salish community where she claims to have her roots. She even suggests in one video that she is the returned White Buffalo Calf Woman of Lakota prophecy, a claim sure to outrage the Plains Indian tribes that hold the prophecy sacred.
