Erika T. Wurth

American Indian Claim

" ...an urban Native of Apache/Chickasaw/Cherokee descent."

TAAF PRESS RELEASE: 2-23-23

CASE: Erika T. Wurth, author

Sovereign Nations falsely claimed: Chickasaw, Cherokee and Apache

Determination: Ms. Wurth has no American Indian ancestry whatsoever


Erika T. Wurth describes herself as an “urban Indian” of Chickasaw, Cherokee and Apache descent.   Her genealogy has been done. While the burden of proof lies solely with the person making such claims, it has been amply proven that Ms. Wurth is of settler ancestry, not American Indian ancestry. None of the tribal nations she claims descent from claim her. She is not a citizen of any of those sovereign nations and neither of her parents ever had a tribal connection with any of them.  Actual Indians understand that there is a preponderance

of clear evidence that Ms. Wurth is lying, and it's ourunderstanding that should carry the weight, not the lack thereof among non-Indians who are making decisions that will harm us further by quietly supporting the frauds.


Thus, it is the conclusion of the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds that Erika T. Wurth is defrauding her readers by writing about fictional American Indian characters whom they believe were created and written about by an American Indian author, writing with an American Indian perspective that Erika T. Wurth will never possess. It is also the conclusion of the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds that Ms. Wurth is harming the people of the tribal nations she falsely claims by clearly misrepresenting them and thus, Ms. Wurth owes reparations to those tribal nations and individuals. 


The Tribal Alliance Against Frauds invites dialogue and offers education that fosters genuine, uncolonized allyship between American Indian people and non-American Indian people. The first step towards such allyship is: Deep listening. The only relevant voices here are legitimately American Indian voices. Center thosevoices. Learn what it means to become an ally.

The truth is the defense against accusations of defamation of character, libel or slander.

The New York Post also covered this story recently, and you can find it here:
https://nypost.com/2023/01/25/native-american-author-erika-wurth-accused-as-fake-indian/


Genealogical evidence and further explanation and education are available upon request. 

None of Ms. Wurth’s stories about having American Indian ancestry are remotely true. 

Signed, Lianna Costantino (Director, Tribal Alliance Against Frauds and press POC)
