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" Image
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 ImageImage
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

In other news, Michelle Latimer and her PR firm continue to gaslight us all in that terrible piece in the G&M today. Hiring Malette & Pulla and then calling them "experts" is a bit rich, even for Navigator (PR firm). 1
All we find out is what we already knew - Latimer's "non-status Algonquin" & "Métis" identity relies on two women ancestors born in about 1605 and 1647, respectively. That doesn't make her Indigenous. Period. 2
The story that broke last December by journalists @Kanhehsiio & @JorgeBarrera with research by genealogist Dominique Ritchot was simply confirmed in the G&M story today. Nothing new here. 3

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.

#raceshifting
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).
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.

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. ImageImage
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. ImageImage
