Though we know this may come as shocking news to many, and a bit alarming for those who have had counsel and or dealings with Pappas as representative Of Oklevueha Native American Church, so to was the details of corruption and near-destructive damage being caused within ONAC at the hand of Pappas to many including the mother church and elder high counsel to whom he presented himself as trustable, honorable and among the most stable and reliable for such a position as a warrior legal counsel for church and members.

After intense internal investigation regarding the credibility as well as the stability and trustability into Pappas per the instruction of the Mother church, Oklevueha Earth Walks Native American Church, it was with great disappointment and upset when the Elder High Counsel had to make the formal decision to terminate Pappas Law from representing Oklevueha Native American Church.
