Yeagley attacks Youngblood again
'Apocalypto' actor's ancestry questionedSo far, the questions over Youngblood's ancestry haven't been enough to derail plans by First Americans in the Arts, a nonprofit group that honors Native American accomplishments in entertainment, to award him its outstanding new lead actor award at its Beverly Hills soiree on April 14, but David A. Yeagley is not giving up.
"He has no Indian blood in him that anyone can validate," Yeagley said. "[Comanche] officials got scooped up in the thrill of claiming a movie star."The specifics:
"I never heard of this guy until this movie came out," said Rodney Tahchawwickah of Cache, Okla., who noted that Youngblood didn't show up at Preston Tahchawwickah's funeral two years ago.
Dawn Tahchawwickah of Dallas, Preston's daughter and Rodney's half-sister, described Youngblood as "only a family friend," adding, "He is nothing to my father."
Youngblood told The Times that Preston Tahchawwickah was not his biological father but his ceremonially adoptive father. Regardless, Youngblood said, "I am Comanche. I'm not going to go into names. My tribe knows it. That is all that needs to be said."

Somebody fill me in, please. What in the world is Yeagley's motivation? Is this guy simply a crackpot, or does he have some other agenda?
I'd say Yeagley's agenda is to position himself as the last true Indian. The authentic voice of Indian people. Standing tall against the perfidious forces of socialism and liberalism and political correctness.
And earning fees from the right-wing propaganda machine because of it. It's a match made in hell. Yeagley confirms that other Indians are cheating the system--usually because liberals have duped them. Which tells his conservative audience that their views are correct and they can continuing ignoring the Indians' plight.
Incidentally, DavidYeagley.org and BadEagle.org are websites devoted to exposing Yeagley's shenanigans on his own sites, DavidYeagley.com and BadEagle.com. Don't confuse the dot-orgs (good) with the dot-coms (bad).
As I said, Yeagley usually blames liberals for duping Indians rather than Indians for being duped. But his underlying message is that most Indians are naive and ignorant (unlike him, presumably).
Columbus compared the Indians he met to children. Five hundred years later, Yeagley is doing the same.
Be sure to see Al Carroll's response at DavidYeagley.org.
Rudy Youngblood is a very special and very tallented young man that all I can say. Leave Him alone.
yeagley has no real direction, I liken him to a hyper child who no one can control. He cares not who he hurts, but especially the Elder.
I remember when his Aunt died(mothers sister), that he could not attend her funeral because of a prior speaking engagement in Florida. I knew then he had no love nor close ties with family. When an Indian family member dies, that close to you(a mothers sister) EVERYTHING STOPS...ITS AN INDIAN THING...FAMILY FIRST. His brothers and sisters never come to his forum, mine would be all over the site, embarrasing me.....but they would be there.
I do feel sorry for him, he has a good education for a white man, but he decided to be Indian late in life. He just went about it in the wrong way, and I think for the wrong reasons. His BAD, no ones' fault but his own ego.
He claims to be clean..no drugs, drinking, smoking, sex, no money, all he has is his Mythological Character "BADEAGLE", man in the maize, who no one else seems to be able to find any information on this person "BADEAGLE". No one would really care, and maybe we would accept This Myth but for his arrogant and blasphemy against the Indian People moreso, Indian Women.
Indian women are not supposed to be outspoken. STRONG, NASTY, FOUL MOUTH WHITE WOMEN(ANNIE) GET A PASS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITE. Yet he calls strong Indian women who disagree with him...LEECH-LIKE,, CO-DEPENDANT, VICE-DRUG, SEXUAL PERVERTS, MAL-CONTENT, JEALOUS, GROSS, DISRESPECTFUL, HATEFUL AND GENERALY UNPLEASANT.
YOUR WORDS ARE FOREVER IN PRINT, NOT LIKELY THOSE STRONG WOMEN OF COLOR WHO READ THEM WILL EVER FORGIVE YOU, EVEN THE LONE ONE (bag) WHO CLAIMS TO BE YOUR FRIEND. SHE TURNS ON YOU FASTER THAN THE OKLAHOMA WIND, AND JUST A SHARP(not a compliment).
