T. Running Wolf is the Great Grand daughter of Chief Crowfoot of the Blackfoot Nation who signed Treaty 7 with Canada and the US.

Ms. Running Wolf  is also known for her Native American Indian Education Programs and her role as a Head Lady at Traditional Pow Wow's.

"A published poet, a highly skilled artisan and educator, with a teaching style as unique as it is engrossing."

She is also a 25 year US Air Force POW Veteran. Special Assignment Congressional Wing.

To date she is an active member in the Woman's Warrior Honor Society, and the  Veteran's Honor Society

She is a Volunteer in Education Programs for Youth and Teachers in Public and County Schools teaching cultural native arts made with all types of mediums from stone to bones. ...

 

There is also a rumor that she won the Medal of Honor, which I know to be untrue unless she is very very old and was known as Dr. Mary Walker. Whether or not she is the source of the rumor I do not know. 

She is to be back in our area for a POW WOW in a nearby park and will dedicate a veteran's monument then.

Claims POW for 90 days, captured with others.

-------------------------------

Claims this posting is all a mistake.  And yet on her web site she claims to be a 20 year veteran of the Air Force and a POW. Shows a file of her military records (much of which is blacked out and stamped SECRET). 

Unless her real name is Melissa Rathburn-Nealy or Maj Rhonda Cormum or Crystal L. Rickett she was NOT held as POW during the Gulf War.

She was NOT held as a POW during the Vietnam War - esp with the USAF!

Subject: Questionable Site?????
To: info@pownetwork.org


How can information on any Military person be posted without proper documentation? Serial #, S.S. # , ie. How can this site allow postings with this info again I ask? What does a Pow Wow of Native Americans have to do with military service? Classified infromation can"t be posted for any reason. If you do not have the proper information then the persons that have posted the information have improperly made a faulse statement,so that makes the posting illegal. When posting on this site, you must have proper name,rank,and serial number,along with any proof that is available to anyone, in order to avoid a law suite. Apprently this site allows anyone to Slander any  person for any reason. And this is called the American Way?
 In oder to update your site I would suggest that all information gathered must be proven without a shadow of a don't in lue of just posting because your mad at said person. Please get in touch with me as soon as possible before this is turned over to proper authorities. Thank you for your attention to this matter for their are persons listed here that have indeed the proper paperwork and can't for Confidintial Reasons disclose that info to any" Joe Blow '

NO MILITARY RECORDS FOUND

... I am currently assigned to the 459th Air Refueling Wing (Air Force Reserve)  at Andrews AFB MD.....I have never known this individual as I have been at the 459th since 1988 and never heard of her.

Not only that, there is no "Special Assignment "Air One" at the 459th.
In 1988 when I first arrived there from active duty the Wing had just converted from a C-130 Wing to a C-141(I believe about 1986 or 1987 time frame). In October of 2003, we converted from the  the C-141 Starlifter to the Boeing KC-135R and changed from the 459th Air Wing (AW) to the 459th Air Refueling Wing (ARW).

If you want to take a look at more 459th Air Refueling Wing (not Congressional Wing except for the old patch)  go to these links...

As we say now at the Wing "Fuel to the Flight"....and this probably adds "fuel to the fire".

Thanks for your work and keep it up!!
