A federal judge has ordered the return of Jacob Anthony Chansley’s distinctive horned, coyote-tailed headdress and staff, which were seized during the investigation of the January 6 Capitol events.
Jacob Chansley, a Native American faith healer who served two years in the U.S. Navy, was kept in solitary confinement for months and later sentenced to 41 months in prison for his peaceful involvement in the January 6th Capitol Hill protest.
Jacob Chansley, aka America’s Shaman, never committed any violence.
