Lakota Man aka. John Martin is a fraud, and has been using his account to pose as Lakota, and to twist native culture to cater to left leaning politicians and the Biden administration. He has defended “tr@ns rights” (calling them two spirited) and regularly calls for support for the Biden administration.
For a long time, John Martin had ‘Ista Ska/White Eyes’ in his Twitter bio. In 2022, John’s claim to be of the White Eyes family was heavily questioned. Members of the White Eyes family in Pine Ridge called him out for claiming their family as his.
After years of presenting his relation with the White Eyes as truth, he decided to text his brother and ask if they were related to the White Eyes and if so, did proof even exist? He posted the screenshot of the text to his X account, which he later deleted once people asked him why he had lied this entire time. (Screenshot of text in thread 1/1)
He then changed his bio to “enrolled in Pine Ridge”, yet he never presented proof of enrollment or showed evidence of his traditional ties to the Lakota.
Lakota man, true to his nature of lying, also lied about his parents. In a tweet, he stated that his father “drank himself to de@th” and was found de@d in downtown LA in 2003.
However, public information that Native Twitter found discovered that Melvin Martin’s location of de@th was in the hospital.
There is much more information regarding his family and the lies he has told which is all included in an article by “ali”, (NTVTWT) I will include this article in thread 1/2.
According to the article, John’s family is allegedly from Nebraska, while the tribe he has claimed is in South Dakota. Even after his claims regarding his father, the gravestone states that his father, Melvin Martin, is actually Santee Sioux. Yet, Melvin’s obituary says Pine Ridge, S.D. (Obituary in thread 1/3).
In every background check I have utilized (using two separate databases), I have been unable to pull John’s criminal record, record of family, work history, alleged military background or voter registration info. This is incredibly odd. This tells me that he does not live where he states he does, OR he pays high dollar to have his information fully hidden from the public.
Last month, I communicated with the Oglala Sioux Tribe Enrollment Department at Pine Ridge. I asked about LakotaMan aka. John Martin. No one within the office had heard this name. This led me to send an open records request to the South Dakota Department of Tribal Relations. According to the response from Department of Tribal Relations, there are no records of John Martin being registered/enrolled at Pine Ridge, South Dakota.
LakotaMan is a liar and a serial blocker. He blocks anyone who will present evidence against him in order to escape accountability for his grift. He has also been known to bully others who speak against him. He has spoken ill of the de@d and made fun of widows/widowers. (This is not something that true native Americans take lightly. See in thread 1/4).
Lakota Man is not enrolled at Pine Ridge. LakotaMan is Chief Fibs-a-lot, The Great Deceiver of the Plains.

Great article regarding LakotaMan from 2022. 1/2ntvtwt.com/2022/07/07/lak…
His Father’s gravestone and obituary. 1/3

Lakota Man’s strange defense of Tr@ns individuals.
Keep in mind, he blocks everyone. He blocked me before I even put this information out. If you want him to see it, screenshot and save the graphics to your heart’s content. Spread the word.
Happy trails and look forward to being placed on the LakotaMan block list.
