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. 
SUPREME COURT OF NOVA SCOTIA- Citation Toney v. Toney Estate, 2018 NSSC 179- After 1876 women could not control their own cultural identity. - The Indian Act created a legal fiction as to cultural identity. RCAP Report Vol4. c.2.png
Don't fucking tell me you care about #MMIW on one hand, and tell me 'they are not Indian' enough to be claimed on another.. Just fucking don't. These are women who have already been marginalized and cast aside. Note to Indigenous women who already have enough damn stress in their
lives, damned if you do and damned if you don't. That is how Canada wants to play this.
So dickeroux, do not fucking tell me, these women are race-shifting trying to take back their identities, re-connecting to their cultures, that Canada fucking stole from them and their communities don't want them. #raceshifting.
sorry/not sorry for my language.
