NATHAN CHASING HORSE FOUND GUILTYWITH SENTENCING TAKING PLACE IN LAS VEGAS MARCH 11, 2026I shared her personal experience with Nathan Chasing Horse, detailing how he exploited vulnerable individuals, including her niece Roberta, through fraudulent spiritual practices and manipulation, I faced disbelief and resistance, particularly from non-Indigenous professionals whodismissed her niece's allegations as delusional. The conversation highlighted the challenges of identifying and preventing such exploitation in Indigenous communities, particularly when family members or trusted figures are involved.
I discussed her upcoming podcast series about Nathan Chasing Horse, focusing onhis arrest and upcoming sentencing on March 11th. She explained that the podcast will feature anonymous guests and cover topics such as Indigenous community trafficking, child safety, and the misuse of ceremonial protocols. I also shared a personal story from the Fifth Estate about a man who was manipulated by Chasing Horse, leading to tragic consequences.
I discussed the challenges of identifying safe individuals conducting ceremonies, particularly in Indigenous communities. She shared examples of exploitation byindividuals like Nathan Chasing Horse, who manipulated vulnerable people for personal gain. I emphasized the importance of critical thinking and questioningwhen seeking healing or spiritual guidance, especially in times of desperation. She highlighted the need for communities to be cautious and vigilant, as even professionals can be susceptible to manipulation. I shared her experiences with Indigenous funeral traditions and the role of ceremony leaders, emphasizing the importance of elders and community involvement. She expressed concerns about Nathan Chasing Horse's actions within the community, particularly noting the absence of elders during his activities.Quest asked about effective ways to educate family members and young people about identifying risks in ceremonial practices, to which I responded with insights from her personal experiences and interactions with Nathan'sfollowers.
I shared a deeply personal story about her brother's involvement with Nathan Chasing Horse, revealing that her niece, Roberta, was sexually assaulted by Chasing Horse while living with her uncle. I explained that her brother hadformed an agreement with Chasing Horse, believing it would lead to healing for both Roberta and himself, but the arrangement resulted in Roberta being trafficked and manipulated into believing she was destined to marry Chasing Horse. The abuse occurred during ceremonies that began in 2006 and continued into 2007, with I noting that she had been trying to gather evidence and references about Chasing Horse's actions in the United States.
I shared her experience of discovering that Nathan Chasing Horse, a spiritual leader, had been sexually exploiting young women and children in her community over a 20-year period. She described how she initially supported him but becamesuspicious after her niece Roberta disclosed that he had been sexually assaulting her. Despite having evidence and witnesses, I struggled to get support from authorities or other community members, who often dismissed my concerns due to cultural beliefs around forgiveness and spiritual authority.The case only came to light when another victim, Nikki, who is my heroine. Of all Nathan child victims, she immediately came forward. I shared encouragement with her over a five year period hoping her case would be instrumental inarresting Nathan Chasing Horse. It was an eight year child who was groom from this age until she exposed her abuse twenty year later a leading to Chasing Horse's recent conviction for sexually assaulting three children. I emphasizedthe importance of documenting these experiences to prevent future abuse and redefine what constitutes a heroine in Indigenous communities.

I've found that it wasn't my parents fault that they were not good parents. They loved each other and as my late mother said being in those places. Those Indian Residential schools affected her marriage. My parents were groom and were taught to be trafficked, They worked them day until nighttime and didn't talk to them like a parents talk to a child. When I hear people laugh at the attitude my late mother had towards sexuality I comment she was raised by non-indigenous people. They treated and educated them like they were livestock.
Much of my podcast I talk about systemic racism and the challenges it take to deconstruct a colonial mindset in what it mean to witness justice of any kind.
This podcast is just dealing with my own personal experience of dealing with lateral violence in the decades that I took. In ignorance of not realizing the that people were trying to silence me.. So I do talk about my experience with the perpetrators, wives and families.. I have a lot of sympathy and empathy for. The two men who have laid charges against WHO have pressed who who have disclosed to the police of sexual charges against Chief Roy Whitney. My heart goes out to them and their families and to people within my community who are triggered by this these past weeks events.. I am grateful and as well as. Thankful that these men had the courage to do such a profound. Bing. As much as. There are people in positions of power who are still trying to silence them. The process of restorative and transformative justice. Is something that even a person in position of power. It doesn't have any say over. So II, do hope my podcast does make. People wonder and question, but as well as have some empathy and compassion for victims of violence, sexual violence.
these podcasts are my opinions only
There is an error i made when i said 20 victims. its over 12 victims not 20....
Hello,
Ihope this message finds you well amidst the ongoing challenges that seem totrigger everyone. I find solace in the beauty of nature, like the sight of twoelk in my backyard the other day, reminding me how fortunate I am to beretired. However, my thoughts often drift to our young people in urban areas,striving to thrive and depending on support from those curious about indigenouslife—a topic for another time.
Today,I am reaching out to gather information regarding the upcoming pulmonaryhearing for Nathan and Shay in January, which is about five months away. I seekclarity on the reasoning behind this hearing, as I want people to understandthe process when someone is arrested but not criminal. Despite the gravity ofthe situation, I find myself laughing, as my friends often say I do when tryingto cope.
Thehearing is expected to present a substantial amount of evidence, includingterabytes of emails, text messages, banking statements, written statements,witness testimonies, and information gathered since 2023. Nathan, with his newlawyer, will review all this evidence to determine his plea. It's speculativesince I wasn't at the Supreme Court, but it seems that if he pleads guilty, hecould be facing up to 20 years before being eligible for parole.
Iwould appreciate any details about the hearing and would like to attend ifpossible.
Thankyou for your assistance.
Bestregards,
Marina
This blog. is created as a response to a comment made by someone who watched one of my tik tok presentations. Throughout my whole blogging experience as well as podcast, Tiktok, whatever social media tool I use. I have. talked about Nathan Chasing Horse and my relationship or lack of relationship or just the experience I've had with this monster. I call him a monster while other people may call him a predator or a pedophile. I just call him a monster and and that's rightfully so. That this is my opinion. However, I have grown up in my community and I. worked with this individual who was calling me out saying I wasn't supporting her. yet when she was a child, I had approached one of her family members and I had warned the family member of what Nathan Chasing Horse had done to my niece. At that point, the family member said to me that she had heard and had talked to a spiritual person in Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, Canada. And she's conveyed to me that the spiritual advisor told her that it was OK to forgive monsters. Around the same time, too, this particular person who. didn't take my warning seriously saw me confront my niece. I confronted my niece in front of this person as well as family members as they were finishing off a sweat. And at the time I when I confronted my niece, I said to her, your disclosure and you retracting your statements. is a lie. And I told her that what she's trying to do and how she's trying to be a spiritual person is contrary to the way she was behaving. I wanted people to realize that this niece was lying to protect Nathan. Chasing horse. However, at the time, too, I didn't know the consequences behind why she wanted to escape from from her family. That being said, all the dynamics of my. trying to get people to support my family and also my family turning against me And now this young woman who is now a woman and is no longer a child is turning against me. Not just that, but I just want to repeat the majority of people who followed Nathan Chasing horse throughout the two decades. have been really mean and horrible to me. So no matter what I do or what I say, if I go in public, I have people coming up to me asking me questions. So I'm I'm prepared. I've been prepared for quite a while and I do answer them in the best way that I can. So this pod. cast here is is in response to what she wrote on my tik tok. And I'm replying to her via Tick Tock as well. But I wanted to post this on my podcast.. I wanted to post it because I think the greater issue is. that when somebody falls in love with somebody and they're mean to them or just violent towards them and they continually go back for more punishment. It's like women who try to leave an abusive relationship. Their partner becomes most dangerous person. for them. And and it's the same with Nathan Chasing horse's followers They were groomed by him. And when they tried to leave him, they became more. He became really dangerous to them. I was. never a follower. So I'm not a danger to his victims. I'm just trying to get people to understand that they were children. These victims were children who have now grown up to be adults. And we all have those experiences within our communities of children who've been sexually. assaulted who have. tried to commit suicide, who. start high risk behavior. We all we all have seen that we've all experienced that. The reality though is how do we support them on their healing journey and that's the difficult part of everything that I talk about.. So I hope you enjoy this podcast. I hope to continue doing more podcast. Thank you.
