Statement by Marie Fiddler, Frank Eagle Tail and Shirley Fiddler
We are in the process of getting copies of these documents out to the
world. People have to wake up and realize that they are being fooled by
Arvol and Paula, One of the greatest Hoaxes of the times by this couple
and their families, of course they stand a lot to lose money wise, These
lineal descendants of Elk Head have their papers and their probate records
to prove the truth, this would hold up in any court.

To: Mr. Arvol Looking Horse and Paula Horne-Mullen; All Youth
organizatlons/groups, All Federally Recognized Tribes; Respective Chairmen;
Respective Council people; Non- Profit organizatlons, other
organizations/groups; Businesses; Universities; Schools and all education
systems; Casinos; Museums; News Medial: Radio, Newspapers and Television;
private individuals and extended relatives of Mr. Looking Horse.
We, as the rightful heirs and direct, lineal descendants of the 9th
Generation Keeper of our Sacred Canunpa; Elk Head, are requesting that Mr.
Arvol Looking Horse cease and desist from misrepresenting himself as the so
called 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred Canunpa; the White Buffalo Calf
Pipe, as he puts it. Mr. Arvol Looking Horse is not a direct lineal
descendant, nor is he related by blood or have any type of familial ties,
and nor was he or his relatives before him was ever designated to be the
Keeper, by Elk Head; who was the true Keeper and had passed into the spirit
world in 1914. Our grandfather, Elk Head had left a legal will in his probate records
designating his eldest son, Elias Elk Head to be the Keeper of the sacred
Canunpa and designated his eldest grandson from Elias, William Elk Head to
be after Elias. Mrs. Martha Bad Warrior was not his daughter, nor was she
designated to be a Keeper of the sacred Canunpa. It was traditional law
that the Canunpa was to be kept from father to son, in the ltazipcola band.
Each male keeper opened the Canunpa in need of war, starvation and sickness
that involves all the Sioux Nation of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota people
to see it and pray with it. Why hasn't Arvol ever opened it to our people
to actually see the contents of the sacred Canunpa? When the Elk Head
family members have all seen it? There has been negative propaganda against
our family, who are the true, direct, lineal descendants of Elk Head, by
Mr. Arvol Looking Horse and his partner, Paula Horne-Mullen, as well as his
family members; which has caused media censorship against our family so we
can not address Mr. Arvol Looking Horses' lies and distortions of the
truth. It has also caused violent threats, violent actions/retaliations
against our family members and having our personal property destroyed by
his family members and followers/supporters. Examples of media censorship
includes: The Native Voice newspaper, owned by Mr. Frank King and Lisa
King, The Dakota Journal, owned by the Flandreau Sioux Tribe and the Lakota
Country Times who are supporters of Mr. Arvol Looking Horse and who have
written many supporting articles about him as the 19th Generation Keeper of
the sacred Canunpa without consulting us, the Elk Head family and allowing
us equal media time. We are demanding that these news medias, cease and
desist in assisting Arvol Looking Horse from perpetuating the
misrepresentation and fraudulent activities as a so called Keeper and
spreading any more negative propaganda about our family by writing any more
articles concerning our sacred Canunpa and give us equal media time to
bring out the facts and truth as we are the true, direct, lineal
descendants of our 9th Keeper, Elk Head.
We are asking all individuals addressed in this letter to stop using
and catering to Mr. Arvol Looking Horse and addressing him as the 19th
Generation Keeper of our sacred Canunpa which is assisting him in perpetuating his
misrepresentation and all of his fraudulent activities. We, as the Elk Head
family have designated Shirley Fiddler-granddaughter to the 9th Generation
Keeper, Elk Head, to be our spokesperson and contact person in these
matters. All questions and concerns should be directed to Shirley Fiddler @
605-964-7313 who resides in Green Grass, South Dakota.
Respectfully submitted by the true, direct, lineal descendants of our
grandfather Elk Head,
Dated on this day of (2nd day of June 2008)
