The Nemenhah Band is a Weaubleau, Missouri-based religious group founded and headed by Phillip "Cloudpiler" Landis. It was founded circa 2000 and has about 7000 members. [1]It practices alternative medicine and specifically natural medicine. [2] The group states that it is comprised of American Indian healers and those "spiritually adopted" into the band; however, its practices have been criticized by some Native Americans. [3]
The group received widespread attention in 2009 when a judge ordered chemotherapy for a 13 year old boy with Hodgkin's lymphoma whose family were members of the group; his mother fled with him to avoid the court order. [4]
