Ally to Nathan Chasing Horse Exploiting MMIW?

Jennifer Diaz McQuaid released a book about her family's ‘escape’ from Nathan Chasing Horse's Nevada-based cult, but it appears to possibly be a cover-up for the exploitation of native women

On August 4, 2025, Ms. Jennifer Diaz McQuaid published a book about her ‘escape’ from Nathan Chasing Horse's Nevada-based cult, The Circle, but it appears to possibly be a cover-up for the exploitation of native women.

Jennifer is not Native American, she is Mexican.

The Rise: From Silence to Sovereignty

“In the ashes of betrayal and spiritual abuse, she found the courage to rise.

The Rise is a raw, powerful memoir of survival and transformation. After enduring manipulation, victim-shaming, and profound spiritual betrayal from those she once trusted, Jennifer McQuaid found herself broken, silenced, and cast out. But in the wreckage, she uncovered a deeper truth: that her voice, her spirit, and her sacred connection to the Creator could never be taken from her.

Told with unflinching honesty and poetic strength, The Rise walks us through trauma, heartbreak, and the haunting weight of generational pain and into the light of healing, reclamation, and radical self-trust. This is more than a story of survival. It is a story of returning to oneself, of finding love after devastation, and of becoming the very ceremony she once searched for.

For every woman who’s been shamed for speaking her truth. For every survivor who’s been told to stay silent.

For every soul ready to rise... this book is for you.”

In recent years, Ms. Jennifer Diaz-McQuaid’s sister, Ms. Lisa Diaz-McQuaid, Redemption House, was a speaker for the Indigenous Peoples Gathering in Sonoma County at the at Sonoma County Fairgrounds.

Ms. Lisa Diaz-McQuaid claimed publicly that her niece had been missing since she was twelve at the mercy of Nathan Chasing Horse. The public informed me that Lisa was referring to Ms. Angelica Gomes (formerly Chasing Horse), one of Chasing Horse’s former wives. Chasing Horse and Gomes have a child together.

However, Lisa has regularly posted photos of she, Jennifer and her nieces over the past decade.

In Ms. Jennifer Diaz-McQuaid’s new book, she confirmed that she knew where her daughter was. She was not ‘missing’.

She claimed that she requested for the court to release Nathan Chasing Horse to her custody in order to keep her daughter and granddaughter safe.

Ms. Jennifer Diaz-McQuaid left Las Vegas, Nevada as Chasing Horse was facing criminal charges, and relocated to Ukiah, California.

Being that Chasing Horse’s cult was named The Circle, it is odd for Ms. Jennifer Diaz-McQuaid to now associate herself with Ukiah artwork resembling ‘The Circle’.

It appears that Lisa & Jennifer have remained closely connected over the years. So, how was Angelica allegedly missing since she was twelve-years-old? Yesterday, I asked Angelica directly why Lisa lied, and I was given the following responses:

Jennifer & Angelica were even seen filming some type of music video together alongside Chasing Horse.

I am 100% an advocate for native women who have truly gone missing or been murdered. However, the story shared by the McQuaid women is contradictory, and makes zero sense. Have any MMIW grant funds been provided for fabricating such a story?

I forwarded my concerns to Clark County, Nevada Law Enforcement. I hope the truth reveals itself shortly.
