You repeatedly show the footage of an "In Session" that looked into a traditional sweat lodge. You followed Gary Fourstar with a camera crew into a sacred ceremony. Mr. Fourstar is not even an American Indian making the fact that he is not authorized to conduct such ceremonies. This is one of the sacred ceremonies of the indigenous people of this land and should be treated as such. Mr. Fourstar charges for participation in the sweat lodge which is in and of itself a disgrace. Mr. Fourstar and his organization are commiting genocide of our sacred ceremnonies and if you continue to air this footage you are an accessory to that genocide.
We the Native American Coalition, speaking with a single voice for all Indian Country, implore you to cease and desist in showing such footage of our sacred ceremonies.
Sincerely,
Native American Coalition

This is so disrespectful. Leave our culture alone! Stop airing this trash.
my grandmother is turning in her grave seeing this. shameful.
gary fourstar is a fraud and everyone knows it. quit giving him a platform to exploit people.
they dont have any right to film that. stuff like this should be private and earned not shown on a camera for views.
WHO APPROVED THIS FOR TV. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.
HE MAY HAVE SWINDLED MY GRANDFATHERS LAST NAME, JEROME FOURSTAR
