| From 1986 on (according to DT sites), he starts calling himself Harley „Swiftdeer“ Reagan and later on „Thunder Strikes“. In the USA, Deer Tribe has the status of a „cult and militia“ <ref>http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=2208.0 </ref>. Reagan teaches his students a mix of extremist right ideology, martial arts, and allegedly secret indigenous ceremonies. Reagan's students do not always mention Deer Tribe or Reagan on their sites, but make use of the catchwords of „Twisted Hairs“ and/or „Sweet Medicine Sundance Path“, as well as Chuluaqui Qoudoushka, Reagan's doctrine of supposedly spiritual sexuality. | | From 1986 on (according to DT sites), he starts calling himself Harley „Swiftdeer“ Reagan and later on „Thunder Strikes“.

| Reagan also recommends students to train in shooting firearms and in martial arts in order to get prepared for a forthcoming 'racial war' against immigrants from Middle and South America <ref>http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2002-06-13/news/sacred-orgasm </ref>. Reagan does not explain how he is able to combine this point of view with an alleged status as Native American – especially since he claims Mayan descent -, and apparently this question is not being raised within DT, either. | | Reagan also recommends students to train in shooting firearms and in martial arts in order to get prepared for a forthcoming 'racial war' against immigrants from Middle and South America <ref>http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2002-06-13/news/sacred-orgasm </ref>.

− | Another indication for a prescient ideology cultivated within DT is an appeal written by Reagan prior to the presidential elections in 2000, in which Reagan quite unabashedly called for DT members and militias to start armed combat in case Al Gore was elected into office <ref>http://www.goodguyswin.org/information/XcIBViewItem.asp?ID=467 </ref>. In this appeal, Reagan adopts the moniker of „The Shooting Shaman“ and also signs the appeal accordingly. <ref>There was no similar appeal when Barack Obama was voted in. According to reports, Reagan is suffering from a tumour; whether the progression of this disease is due to his silence in this matter, however, cannot be established.</ref> | + | Another indication for an extremist right ideology cultivated within DT is an appeal written by Reagan prior to the presidential elections in 2000, in which Reagan quite unabashedly called for DT members and militias to start armed combat in case Al Gore was elected into office <ref>http://www.goodguyswin.org/information/XcIBViewItem.asp?ID=467 </ref>.
