I got a whole thing in my head about "Indian at Large," diaspora as a shield, the perils of genealogy without community, and how my book, Bad Indians Book Club, gets at a lot of this.
Need to think about who to pitch that to because it's more than I can do in a skeet thread

We’re not ready for an aging population — and it's going to cost us
Canada's government budgets keep getting squeezed by our aging population. When are we going to do something about it?

I think if there was a financial cost to being outed as a fraud, regardless of intent, people would work harder to verify their family lore.

Thinking about Anishnaabe who support Isreal.
If that's their vision of #LandBack then Canada should be very concerned about them. It isn't my vision, but i don't support Isreal either.

Curious what this is going to do to various syllabi and lists that have his books on them.
At least he isn't disputing it.
