Word to the wise- we have #pretendians all around us. the gill sisters were right out in the open. mainstream media hailed them as #inuit do gooders saving the world. to all white journalists- you must learn to do better. all of you.
to the ones who interviewed them for their "good work" you really need to do follow up stories telling the truth. investigate them- the money they stole. everything. i thought those stories were coming.
but I know what's happening in the mainstream media- you all fear lawsuits. when did lawsuits trump journalistic integrity?
Why people need to be concerned about nadya and amira gill- they had Inuit beneficiary cards. that allowed them access to Indigenous funding for education & to have their biz listed as verified Indigenous.
#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.
