Tanaeka is the name of a fake Kaw (Kansa) native American ceremony invented by a deranged white male pretending to be a native American woman, calling himself Mary Whitebird, in a very poorly written book. Everything about it is false and pure imagination. It has nothing at all to do with the real Kaw tribe or Kaw religion and is nothing but nonsense - such stories should by law have to carry a prominent warning that they are fiction and do not reflect genuine native traditions.
There has never been a real person called Mary Whitebird. This was a pseudonym (false name) used by a white American male whose real identity has not been disclosed. It is known that he died in 2010 and probably never wrote any other books.It is also clear that every aspect of "Tanaeka" is fake. There is no such ceremony among the Kansa (Kaw) tribe and there never has been; "native words" used in the story are definitely not Kansa words and the whole thing is pure fiction.Most people would think it a positive advantage that the writer never attempted to dupe readers with another hoax like that.
