#pretendian — Public Fediverse posts

Wow. Famous Canadian author Thomas King recently discovered that he is not indigenous.

King grew up believing his father was part Cherokee. His acknowledgement of this newly learned truth in Monday's Globe is a sharp contrast to Buffy Sainte Marie's refusal to address conflicting genealogical records.

But these stories are all so damaging and painful to both Canada and its indigenous communities.

Good. She's a thief, a fraud, and a liar. She stole these accolades, millions of dollars, fame and fortune from deserving authentic Indigenous talent.
I don't care what she did for #indigenous people, she did it as a #pretendian and that negates the whole thing. She crafted herself as Indigenous when she saw there was a profit to be made.
Disgusting.
Beverley Jean Santamaria, #karma always kicks your butt. I hope you're ashamed of yourself.
