"Researchers examine the growing phenomenon of “self-Indigenization” — University Affairs": universityaffairs.ca/news/news-arti…
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!
Almost like someone or something, has made a political decision to take down this group of people who dare to cling to the parts and pieces of their families, histories and cultures that have been handed down to them, orally and/or finding small pieces of written historical
depictions of cultural parts of themselves that are a part of their family, but maybe they never understood why or the significance of it. Seems very odd to me, I can't say that I know of any other segment of society who gets attacked for embracing their families culture
and heritage the way the Eastern Metis do. Let's see, the things that have been said to make us be "pretendians", "fakes", "fetis" I won't even write some of the things that I have been called. I have developed an extremely thick skin through this, for someone who used to be a
highly sensitive person who cared what others think . Now I am a highly cynical, I don't care what you think person unless you can back that shit up with facts. Then we will discuss it. Alrighty then, lets see .. It has been said that the Eastern Metis were too assimilated
with the whites in the east. Let's examine that .. Yes, we were assimilated in the east, it was a matter of survival ! But so were the Métis in the West. This was written by them and talks about their assimilation and why.
Rotten to the core - The Politics of the MMF - Sheila Jones Morrison ©1995 - Michif French was kept alive by in St Boniface by the Metis who identified themselves publicly as French-Canadians.
so when these Metis people re-discovered who they were and re-birthed the National Metis movement, were they self-indigenizing? Can someone explain to me, how they can lose their identity, re-discover it and that is ok, but in the East, we have a professor who is damn well
determined to end us. Since when do Academics get to decide a person's self identity? Seems Trudeau's identity politics are a slippery slope. When you have the then Minister of Indigenous Affairs Carolyn Bennet re-tweeting Darryl Leroux and his so called #raceshifting, doesn't
that seem like a conflict of interest? It looks highly suspicious to me, from a man who gets federal grants to go university to university doing lectures, telling everyone we are fakes and getting others to gather the torches for us. Our genealogies just are not good enough for
Mr Leroux, but interestingly enough, those exact same genealogies are being used in another province, our genealogies, the genealogies who belong to the Acadian Mi'kmaw people, those who choose to identity as Acadian Metis or Acadian SangMele , those genealogies that are
originally from Nova Scotia, are being used by the federal government who created the Qalipu In Newfoundland, who are a status First Nation Landless Band, with recognized rights and entitlements using the genealogies of our communities. I have big questions about how when
our genealogies are removed from our province, from the people Mr Leroux and Carolyn Bennet label as #raceshifters , frauds, pretendians, fetis, etc etc How does one then became a Status Mi'kmaq person once they go to Newfoundland?
How does this certain segment of society get to escape the labels that get slapped against us. Using the exact same genealogies, the same distance of generations that Mr Leroux is calling the Eastern Metis as not being Indigenous , is allowed his racist political platform
everywhere, @CBCIndigenous @CBCNews @iciradiocanada You do not have to look very far on any of these Canadian Media sites to find denigrating remarks on the Eastern Metis people. Isn't that funny, and I don't mean funny as in funny, hahaha ... 🤑🙄🤬
Mr Professor Darryl Leroux, has knowingly spread false information about me and my family. Not a damn thing I can do about it, because I am low income and I can't afford a lawyer. He has me and my 11 yr old disabled son displayed on his raceshifting website, using the exact same
genealogies of Chiefs of the Qalipu !! qalipu.ca/qalipu-first-n… The same people who now qualify for health care and Jordan's Principle. While I got hauled through the court system, a federal employee told her friend all about my son's case and sent her against me in a public
facebook group. A pro bono lawyer sent the screenshots I had captured against said employee of Indigenous Services Canada who kept making decisions on my son's case all by herself without taking the proper steps to submit our case.
I applied to the Privacy Commision of Canada about what had happened to us, between what this federal employee was doing and what Mr Leroux was doing with the Canlii case file, was a lot to deal with emotionally. I spent many wakeless nights in emotional turmoil over how
helpless I was, against the Canadian Gov System and what Darryl Leroux was trying to do to me. He knew I was not as many generations as he was saying, and I have several other screenshots of him saying the correct generations. Even the court file itself in sec 31 said that I
wanted parts of my genealogy fixed, the judge saw no merit in it, I just bet he didn't, I allege that our case file was handed right to him, hot off the press, with all my minor son's identifying information available for Leroux's twitter gang. His name, his medical needs, his
race, all supposedly protected under the human rights laws. Yea right, Canlii told me without a lawyer , none of my son's identifying information would be removed. So you can imagine my horror with all the horrible names I was being called with Darryl Leroux, Jarvis Googoo,
Bryson Sylilboy (NDP Candidate), Robyn Lawson, Gail Morin, and many others, sharing this and encouraging people to attack me for my self identity. The same genealogical data in my family which was used by Chiefs of the Qalipu and I want to know how in the hell this happened.
@CrownIndigenous maybe you know? How myself and others who celebrate our mixed blood families, our Acadian SangMele Metis families in the East, qalipu.ca/qalipu-first-n…
are called to the lowest, ridiculed in the media and online, while your dept, took our genealogies, created a Status Band and they are now legitimate First Nation people, while we stand looking around, wondering wtf just happened?
@hrw @UNHumanRights @UN_HRC @UNOCHA I won't bother tagging any Canadian depts because they have already showed me how much they care about me and my disabled now 12 yr old son human rights. I mean it doesn't take a genius to figure this out.
