I'm shocked and saddened by this news. I think that King honestly believed that he had Cherokee roots. I'm not angry at him and I don't think he meant to deceive anyone in order to profit off of his assumed identity.

He wrote of his personal adventures as an adult and how governments & people treated indigenous people.
Now he has admitted that after taking a DNA test, that he has no Cherokee DNA. He seems genuinely apologetic even though for years he had been asked by native groups to prove his I.D.

I first heard of Thomas King when I listened to him on the Massey Hall lectures. He read passages from his book "The Inconvenient Indian."
I read the book and thought it was insightful and entertaining. He wrote of how he was adopted by white parents and how he was a native Cherokee.

Our airports are open.
We feed our poor.
Everyone has healthcare.
We have allies.
We don't stab friends in the back.
Our leadership is sane and thoughtful.
We don't snatch people off the streets.
We have rule of law for everyone.
Why would anyone think we'd want to be a 51st state?

Character isn't something you tell people about.
It's something you live.
