sec 31 of that canlii file, applicant baldly asserts that he has my genealogy wrong, I still damn well "BALDLY" dispute and assert it, seems funny a RR Metis judge was used in this case, and he lied to boot. He had my full genealogy tree. 
He see's no merit in fixing "HIS" errors because saying I am 14 generations came in pretty handy for Darryl Leroux to then put me on this #raceshifting website, when he damn well knows he is lying.
Is it wrong to criticize Jacqueline Keeler for disrespecting the dead family of her victims when she doesn’t respect her own dead?
She shifted her dad’s demographic description for clout a little over a month from his passing.
Shamelessness ain’t a virtue, @jfkeeler #Karendian

Don’t take my word for it. Here’s her race-shifting the man, in her own words:
It’s not my original find, but damn.

Ah of course this would come to the wacky professor - Leroux !! But I have questions, big ones !! What is it called when a certain group of Academics colludes together to pick on one small segment of society? One who has traditionally been marginalized, mostly uneducated, lacks
sophisticated methods to have their voices, identities &histories heard, while watching those who dare to do so, get eviscerated in ugly heated twitter battles with so-called professional academics who seem to have a very, very fucking narrow lens they are looking through. Lies!

BearPaw NewsWire, May 6-10, 2013-BearPaw Legal Education Resource Centre-Aboriginal News From Turtle Island and Beyond - wow Leroux. Seems so fishy you haven't said a word about this !! #raceshifting @DarrylLeroux - when you have my 11 yr old son on your website as a raceshifter
passages.winnipegfreepress.com/passage-detail… - Lawrence Barkwell has wrote a significant portion of the Manitoba Metis History ..
Wow, I don't even know where to start here .. Forgive me Mr Barkwell, this is not about you, it is about the huge issue of Identity Politics and how ugly it gets and people who get drug into it and shamed publicly over it.
U of M Native Studies Dept - Lawrence Barkwell made honorary Metis, I think that is lovely he has contributed years of research to Metis history, however it was Metis history he wrote and made into history as a non-Metis person.
It infuriates me that today in 2020, we have Indian Agents working and being paid for by the crown to 'cast doubts and suspicions' on who an Indigenous women is, when historically this started by the damn Indian Act after 1876. Today they are still having their voices silenced by
institutions, and the white academics working to discredit them, their identities and their work. That is your reconciliation in work Canada. #Reconciliation #MMIW @JustinTrudeau @CrownIndigenous @DarrylLeroux
Today this women are trying to move forward, trying to reclaim their identities stolen from them by Canada, and they can expect mobs of angry twitter Academics trying to humiliate and shame them for the work they have put in, because their communities do not want to claim them.
1/Not many people seem to be giving @NORTHERNGRRL the benefit of the doubt and I find this concerning.

2/ As a filmmaker in Canada with a vague mixed ethnicity my approach was to simply not say anything about my background.
As a suburb kid I had no real cultural identity. I just thought about computers and cameras. Nerd culture. Tech culture.

3/ Fast-forward through university (film), I'm getting by as a cinematographer.
Get asked by a director I work with a lot to shoot a week-long travel doc on an aboriginal and non-aboriginal student exchange program.

I just completed a journal article on the fake "Abenaki tribes" in Vermont. What I uncovered is remarkable. They all rely on French-Canadians immigrants in mid-1800s as "root ancestors," no Abenaki ancestry whatsoever.

In case you're wondering, these 4 "Abenaki tribes" were recognized by the State of Vermont:
Elnu Abenaki Tribe + Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk-Abenaki (2011) + Abenaki Nation at Missisquoi + Koasek Traditional Band of the Koas Abenaki Nation (2012).
Elnu Abenaki Tribe + Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk-Abenaki (2011) + Abenaki Nation at Missisquoi + Koasek Traditional Band of the Koas Abenaki Nation (2012).
They now receive $millions in state & federal educational funding, lifetime fishing licenses, authorization to sell products under Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990, repatriated human remains + land to manage.

Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, Original Correspondence (CO 217) : C-9121
Seems we always here that the Metis in Nova Scotia were never a separate people that they were always assimiliated into either the Mi'kmaw community or the "Sang Pur" Acadian communities. The people who insist on this scenario obviously have not dug too deep into the records on
The Indian News, Volume 13, Issue 5 August 1970-Indian News-George Manuel Elected President of National Indian Brotherhood - NonStatus Indians being represented by the brotherhood- Dr Howard Adams had nothing to say, which sounds like he was good with it.
"Fred Plain, president of the Union of Ontario Indians, brought up the question of non-status Indians being represented by the Brotherhood since in Ontario, with
no existing Metis organizations, the Union had opened its doors to active non-status membership in it's organization.

drive.google.com/open?id=1_poRN… Amazingly this RCAP report 432, which used to be freely available online, doesn't appear to be online anymore. Apparently INAC doesn't want anyone to be able to access it. Luckily I have it saved in several different locations. It would seem that
the more information that becomes available to back up Eastern Metis position, the more information is locked away from the general public. You might want to think deeply about why that is !!
Let's look at this little section from Clem Chartier for the first example, this was written before the Daniels decision and before we were included into section 91 (24) . We have Pam Palmater, also going around giving talks with Darryl Leroux on the subject of #raceshifting.
Getting a lot of questions about the “Abenaki tribes” in VT & NH since publication of my book. To be clear, all of them are involved in #raceshifting. All of them. The actual Abenaki people took a strong stand against the “Abenaki” charade in New England last April.
I explain in Chapter 1 of #DistortedDescent that virtually everybody enrolled in these “tribes” are white French-descendants relying on Indigenous OR French women ancestors born prior to 1650. I discovered this in doing research on online genealogy forums. #raceshifting
Rich Holschuh is member of Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs and public liaison for “Elnu Abenaki Tribe” in VT. He has 1 (potential) Mi’kmaw ancestor born in 1641 (Germain Doucet), though there’s some controversy about whether Doucet was Indigenous at all.

Yesterday, Liberal MP Marc Serré responded to CBC story about his "Algonquin" identity with the following statement, which missed the point entirely. Nobody denied that he's a registered member of the AOO. 1/3
"celebrate your ancestry" ≠ claim to be "Indigenous"
"celebrate your ancestry" ≠ claim to be "Indigenous"
Serré bases his "Algonquin" identity on an ancestor born in 1631, according to the AOO's own records. About 50 of my immediate family members could've joined the AOO, as could've Justin Trudeau, but the large majority of French-descendants don't self-indigenize themselves. 2/3
The Algonquin people have repeatedly opposed the addition of white French-descendants on the AOO's membership list, to no avail. The report below outlines these concerns, and specifically, position against #raceshifting 3/3
