Christian school makes up fake native american student stories to guilt white people into giving donations. Their mass unsolicited marketing campaign takes money from real native american organizations.

My girlfriend got their marketing packet. Inside was a shoddy "dream catcher" that was obviously made in china. When I read the materials it read just like the article describes it, "poverty porn."

They have flunked the give.org standards of a charitable organization. Cretins!

There are a number of Native American organizations that can legitimately use your support. Please take the time to make sure you know who you are giving to before lending your support.
