Looking straight at #Indiginews & their #PoorEthics team. They've promoted #Pretendians a lot & refuse to correct errors. They're no better than white folks who use natives to get more followers. Fucked up native media outlet.

There are consequences for pretendians. It's time #pretendians held themselves to account & institutions proactively address pretendian problem instead of being dragged through media. #cdnpoli https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/memorial-university-president-removed-after-indigenous-claims-scrutiny-1.6345785

2023 - Year of #daylighting #pretendians 👍

' Not enough Canadians realize the harm caused by people who claim Indigenous identity without proof, [Canadian Senaror Mary Jane] McCallum [Cree] said, nor how some people with legitimate ancestry are still fighting for recognition under the Indian Act.

“There will always be those people that look into the gaps and … start to use indigeneity as a source of power,” she said. '

Seriously, what is wrong with people? If they have no honour, at least they should know that they can easily get caught!
I'm white on my father's side, Metis on my mother's, and have never hidden that. #pretendians need to be stopped!

#HalfBreed is known as #Metis or #MetisMastodon.

A clear line must be drawn, there are no half breed allowed in our traditional ceremonies and internet needs to respect that and let us speak for our selves.

We are coming.

Our top issues are #mmiw and you guessed it, #Pretendians/ Pretend Indians

Remember you would never be allowed in our ceremonies you are not part of the tribe.

There is a BIG problem with #Pretendians claiming to be #indigenous and lying about it just to push a narrative.

We have nothing to do with #bible, we were here in North America 38,000 years before the bible was written. We know next to nothing of Middle East Affairs tbph..
So don’t PRETEND to be Indigenous, you HAVE to be full blood to get into ceremonies; my lover was denied and she left me the next week. Hard lessons..

ARCTIC #PRETENDIANS?

If you want to vote in elections to the #Indigenous parliaments of the #Sámi you have to confirm (a) your Sámi identity and (b) Sámi heritage.

Norwegian and Sámi media are currently investigating how people that don't fulfill the (a) and/or (b) criteria take advantage of the trust-based registration system to get voting rights.

When in, they are shown to support fx closing down the Sámi Parliament or mining ventures that threaten Sámi livelihoods.

the white feds signed a deal with these #pretendians Nunatukavut- they are claiming to be #Inuit but we don't accept them. there should be national outrage. but people would rather complain about jacqueline keeler while the fake groups come after our land again.

OMFG she actually went the Cherokee-Princess route. I’d say I can’t believe it, but…
