Letter to Parisha Taylor from Paige Martin

It seems to be a game and sport today to abuse and make un-named
claims against those of us who are different; those who live in a
state of caring and living to a greater value of Mankind than most.

I am an attorney at law and have made it a point in my life to excel
and be a credited legal officer of the courts in Ohio. I am Paige
Martin. So all you gossip mongers and liars run to your computers and
chew on this.

I have some things I want to say to all the trashing that you do about
Pa’Ris’Ha Taylor. I have worked with her for over twenty years. I have
never met anyone more ethical and honest. She does not say she is
exceptional, we who come to know her, or are touched with her gifts to
heal and help do that. We call her Elder and Grandmother – a loving
term of endearment.

She has never asked for or gotten our possessions and wealth. She does
charge for her services and businesses and then gives it to support
the many who need. She gives more than most people. Her service and
work as Pa’Ris’Ha is trademarked to make sure all in her name goes to
projects and the needs of others. I have personally handled the
legalities of that myself for her. She does not control anyone in this
organization. I, for one would be further in life if she did. She
refuses to allow anyone to be dependent and weak around her. She has
helped many to further their education, get businesses started and has
been an example of human value.

She does not live at Friendship Village, with those who live there, of
the organization and staff. In the business endeavors over the years
she does not make herself boss or CEO. She serves as a member of the
board, even when most of what is generated comes from her ideas and
work. She is a mentor; she teaches from what she has learned. She
always credits others and acknowledges them for the service and work.

As I read how you distort what you say you hear and read, and how
totally untrue what you report is, I want people to know that I have
been present when Joanne Sustar was taken to hospital and died days
later in a hospital from anemia. I saw how it became a zoo, respecting
no one. Not the grieving people who loved her and were overwhelmed by
her death. She (Joanne) like many people, and those of us who were
with her there on the beach put sand over our bodies. Yes she put
something; my recall of it was a face cloth over her face, because the
wind blew sand in our eyes if not. Some of us used snorkels to breath
to keep blowing sand from being breath in. Kids play: that is how we
saw it. No evil, morbid cult thing. Surely there was no intention of
harm or hurting our self or anyone else. We had read and heard of
people being able to “detox” from the minerals in the sand off
Virginia Beach, so we did it.

Some of the fuel for the fire prior to Joannes death, was Pa’Ris’Ha
had confronted a man who had come to our organization for help on
collecting money and clothing for Plains Natives about being dishonest
in where this was going. He was highly endorsed, and still is by the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Jim Fry sold the items that many of us filled
his barn with to Dr. Mooney’s group and they sold the donated items to
the Natives for gain and profit. Plus they took nine hundred dollars
that was given in cash.

At this time the Cleveland Plain Dealer and area media had been
supportive to our organization and Pa’Ris’Ha’s work. Not knowing Jim
Fry was a relation to them, she went to the newspaper to release a
story to expose this and stop it from going on. When she started
getting slammed by all the Plain Dealer lies and sensationalizing of
her work and service, she did not let any of us step up and take the
impact, yet numbers of us in the organization were present through it
all. She stood alone in it. I have to admit I was grateful because I
saw how insane it all became.

She remained calm and forgiving. I know how some of you are thinking
when I say that. But that is who she really is. She forgave them every
time. She had something to say of how all comes to good. She believes
that, I do not. I know how unbelievable it is to accept the
information you have read. I can only say I was there, I know her and
have never found anything fraudulent about her. She brought us all
into her family and she shares her life with us generously and is
transparent. I was in North Carolina with her a number of times, I
have come to know many family members, many of us sat with her Mother
in North Carolina while she told us stories of why she never had the
courage to take up the old ways like her daughter did. I know who she
is.

The reports and whole hyped up mess just went on and on. There was not
a seed of reality in it. We were all stunned and could not believe the
blatant lies. The reporter writing most it admitted to a number of us
in the Center he was getting published and she was his ticket to fame.
The other newspapers just did copy of his stuff. He started to run
with the Indians on her case and reported just really totally
ungrounded crap.

The cult stuff and the reflection of her like a Jim Jones person was
the cap for me. They really were milking the drama and taking it in so
many directions it was like the Hollywood gossip columns. Not any of
us knew where they were getting all that and it was so absurd, it was
just crazy.

When the so-called reports of what the Indians are saying get going I
really have a problem with that as an attorney. The leaders of A.I.M.
(American Indian Movement) are all mixed Indians with Caucasian blood
lines, and many have pale, white shins, so what is all that? They have
had past criminal changes made against them and there intent to harm
non-native people. A bit messed up I think.

A well-known family from Pine ridge Reservation, Charles Chips’ group,
has suffered badly with his alcoholic episodes for years. When he came
to ask Pa’Ris’Ha to help him do a Sun Dance, and she agreed to let
them come to the organization’s land in Ohio. His daughters wrote
letters to Pa’Ris’Ha’s daughter telling her about the things he does
to them. Pa’Ris’Ha helped his wife and children get to a safe place
not known to him, and made him leave the land. After that she really
started getting slammed.

People who say things and hide behind claimed fears of her are lying,
if any of the newspapers claims to such are real. Those who have come
to know her know she would not harm even a worm or fly. When people
could not meet the ethical standards she holds they left the
organization and bad-mouthed her for it, is that uncommon? She also
has extended herself to help many who have been rejected by family and
society. Some did not go well, and after many years of tolerance, she
asked them to leave. She is very direct and outspoken. She does not
waste time with false compliments or ego fixes. She is real and loves
people and extends all she can to everyone. She helps every stray,
lost or suffering person she meets. She has been Mother to many who
did not have one, or whose family or Mother was not caring or capable
of Mothering them. Hey, I know what you’re thinking – I have been
there and yes, she is pretty unbelievable.

What I learned from years of study even before I meet Pa’Ris’Ha was
how politically divided the Native people are. She never discredited
anyone’s ways. Yet they all have different ways, so when I read
someone saying she is a racist, my goodness look at what you are
reading. Claims of proof and yet not listing it – come on get real
here. I mean you have to be more intelligent than that and can see the
biased remarks. To make fun or rebuke people of kindness and
acceptance is a person with a real problem.

When a free lance reporter called to attend a meeting in Memphis
Tenn., and the coordinator told Pa’Ris’Ha he was antagonistic, and she
thought not to allow him to attend, it was Pa’Ris’Ha that said let him
come – you never know, he may learn something or turn a corner in life
from what he experiences here. When he left that night he asked her
forgiveness for what he was going to do. She hugged him as usual and
said to him as she always says – “follow your heart, Son.” He wrote a
lot of bunk on the Internet and in his article. She would not speak
ill of him. I saw that as another hopeful thinking they could become
important by printing what seems to sell, which is what they can make
weird, and freaky.

I have traveled many places around the world with her, as she teaches
and shares. She teaches in universities and global educational
institutes, and they totally get what she says and teaches, yes it can
seem weird to the uneducated and studied. Science proves a lot of
mystical things as ordinary when you understand how it happens and she
does that well. She is different, she is zealous of life, she is
passionate and is always seeing the good. She loves like most of us
cannot. I do not know how to explain how she works the things I have
seen her do. She makes nothing extra-extraordinary of herself – she
believes we are all extraordinary. My parents are both ministers, so I
was raised as a Christian, and I trust that she is always in God’s
charge and service and there are times he uses her as his instrument.

I come forward as many of us who have worked with her in world matters
of service, and I know she does not want anyone of us to suffer the
insult and lies that are out there, but then, I have to speak or not
be who I am. She has taken it alone, far too long. Her family and
children have borne the burden of pain and suffered the insults, far
too many years. Anyone of you who read this and please consider the
distorted messages you have read for the lies they are, measure her
from your own knowledge and knowing her.

When asked about all the claims made as to who she was or is, I love
how she defines herself: “a Daughter, Wife, Mother and Grandmother, a
perennial student and people watcher.” And that is all fact. She has
introduced me to amazing studies. Over the past several years she has
studied Ron Hubbard materials and shared how prolific a writer he was,
and how he bases his writing on sciences that have even progressed
beyond where he wrote. For that she and many of us got caught up in
Scientology’s battle. When that happened, she said to me, that I will
either have to not fear being transparent or stop evolving. That she
is not going to be damned for studying and exploring all that has been
written or given. She assured me to just know myself, that people will
be people.

When a person said to her while we were being interviewed that she is
a controversial person, she said if it makes people think, she is
happy.

I guess to many who like to feed on all the lies and untruths, it is
weird to have a person like this in our world. But do not worry, she
will forgive you, she is just that generous. ?Forgive me Grandmother,
I just could not read anymore of the garbage and not speak up. I love
you, I want the world to know you taught me to love myself and allow
myself to love others.

Paige Martin.
