Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine) is a 43 years young “free spirit”, and is a mixed blood of Cree (Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation), and German ancestry. Dieter has two degrees from the University of Saskatchewan (Food Chemistry and Masters in Business Administration), and has taught at Business Administration at Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies, Saskatchewan Indian Federated College, and Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation. About 8 years ago, Dieter cashed in his RRSP’s from his cushy teaching gigs, and was spiritually guided to become a spiritual messenger and healer, and in the process became one of Canada’s top “infamous” internet bloggers. Dieter’s one blog, ”Listen To the Red Shaman 2012″ (indianinthemachine.wordpress.com) has higher internet ranking (www.alexa.com) than both the canadian Assembly of First Nations, and Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations… not too shabby for one “crazy indian” with no government funding or support.
