#qalipus reach back two hundred years and find one possible Native ancestor to race shift to Mikmaq. none even remotely have a Native phenotype. their status was not based on blood quantum.
a white settler with 2 percent Indigenous blood &less have Indian Status with #qalipu
this is part of the supplemental agreement between the feds and qalipu- to cull members. they had over 100k white newfied apply for Indian Status. the feds wanted to sign up some white newfies- maybe 10k- but then they heard about tax exemption- so over 100k race shifted
but also just talk to a qalipu. ask them about blood quantum. you may get a question about what blood quantum is. they are so ignorant and know so little about Indigenous issues and rights- they dont realize Status Indians have had to follow blood quantum.
why do I care so much about #pretendians ? cause i have had a rough life. i was stolen from my family & people at birth. i always looked Indigenous. but i never met a Native person raised in our culture until i was an adult. i was raised with only whites. i hated it.
i experienced so much white supremacy &also violence. it was rough growing up in rural white canada being me in the 70s. when i found my family i realized they too were victims of white supremacy. my mother was in residential school. she fled canada cause they kept taking us.
i still don't really have much family. many of my biological family are americans. we are@nothing alike. so white supremacy destroyed my family. i cant speak my language. i never had kids. i didn't want to pass on the trauma.
