Re: Termination of Confederation & Association
To all pertinent and Interested Parties,
This is official notice to the above named recipients (Mary & Jacob Hughes as/and ONAC Metro Detroit and to all affected parties including members and leaders thereof.
Let it be known that as of the 8th day of May in the year 2018, Kautantowit Mecautea Native American Church (KM NAC) held an Emergency meeting regarding the above named people and church and reviewed public as well as official documentational, photograph/recorded evidence and also reviewed statements made by the above named individuals while in capacity of representation as the above named proclaimed church "ONAC Metropolitan Detroit"
who is currently in the process of transitioning their name from ONAC Metropolitan Detroit to "Spirit Keepers Native American Church"
This decision was made unanimously by Both the Grand Council and too, the Founder's Council of KM NAC, both calling for the complete Termination of our Confederation and Association with them immediately as of the time of decision in all mannerisms and capacities including individually, collectively and especially too in reputation as being a morally aligned "Church" and we are here to ensure that our position and decision is made publicly known.
KM NAC would like it known that the decision was in part made based upon the official evidence that presented the council's for review that was collected/obtained during the coarse of the investigation KM NAC conducted upon ONAC Metro Detroit that initiated because of their being question as to their conduct as church leaders and the moral compass direction by them for ONAC Metro Detroit which has proven to NOT be in alignment with Kautantowit Mecautea Native American Church or our NAC tribal family.
So it is clearly understood, Jacob & Mary Hughes were Never personally approved nor recorded as official members of Kautantoowit Mecautea Native American Church, but ONAC Metro Detroit Was acknowledged as being a sibling to KM NAC due to their association with Oklevueha Native American Church since September 11th 2016. That came about per James Mooney advising them to work with KM as their elder sibling as they grew up ONAC Metro Detroit and Mary Hughes personal request that we confederate with them as an elder sibling.
We as KM NAC were willing to continue to maintain a workable relationship with ONAC Metro Detroit even after our own disassociation from Oklevueha Native American Church in the fall of 2017, but upon the conclusion of our investigation May 8th 2018, KM NAC Council has called for the complete official relationship termination between ONAC Metro Detroit and Kautantowit Mecautea Native American Church immediately, completely and indefinitely as they show no inclination or desire to operate in sacred honorable way.
KM NAC stands firm when it comes to the integrity of our church and we stand firmly Against any who infringe and or inflict desecration upon any and all tribal culture and against those who wish to exploit tribal culture, the web of Creators creation and especially so the customs of tribal spirituality and our sacred healing medicines. We furthermore strongly detest those who intentionally endanger the safety and well-being of young Children.
Based on all of the evidence, be it official reports/documentation from official sources (including from ONAC and also the state of Michigan Courts & Children's Services) as well as by The Hughes own personal and or public omissions and intentional misinformation/misrepresentation of facts as well as other information provided by the Hughes to KM NAC officials during the coarse of our investigations, information collected by multiple active members of ONAC Metro Detroit and photo/recorded evidence obtained during the investigation period it is apparent to the Grand Council of Kautantowit Mecautea Native American Church that ONAC Metro Detroit is unwilling to align with the Moral Compass of KM NAC and our entire NAC tribal family.
Therefore let it be known that all associations between Jacob & Mary Hughes along with ONAC Metro Detroit is hereby terminated in complete entirety as of the 8th day of May 2018 and therefore they are no longer in ANY way shape of form to be presented, accredited nor respected as being Blessed by KM NAC of Any of our NAC tribal family and that as of this date they are not to present themselves as being such by KM NAC or our NAC tribal family of Native American Churches which include Broken Arrows Native American Church, Native American Church of the Morning Star and Half Moon or the Sovran Tuscarora Nation and Native American Church or any child, sibling or confederated church or other organization and or association thereof.
If you learn anything at all about Kautantowit Mecautea Native American Church (KM NAC) at all today, please let it be that We are a Tribal Church Family and we take that commitment and the integrity of one another extremely seriously and to Dishonor one of us is to dishonor us all.
