The absolutely awesome Canadian author, Robert J. Sawyer has written quite a few Indigenous characters into his books. He has even waxed philosophical about Indigenous relationships to land without ever needing to present himself as Indigenous. (apihtawikosisan.com/2012/01/ques...)
Questioning assumptions, Sawyer did it, will you?
I’ve been reading a lot of Robert J. Sawyer lately, because as pointed out by Adam Shaftoe and Matt Moore in the fall 2011 On Spec, he’s a Canadian Sci-Fi author who is surprisingly opt…

I’ve got an article out in the Star today about the Thomas King issue:
Thomas King’s admission he isn’t Indigenous is just the first step. This is what has to happen next

I think (white) Canadians tend to ignore it when imposters are exposed operating in Indigenous circles because it seems like “their problem” BUT IT IS NOT. IT IS OURS and that refusal to address it really burns my hair. Thomas King, Buffy, Boyden, countless others. It’s a White People Problem.

This shouldn't be difficult to understand. It's pretending and pretension.
Thomas King pretended at experiencing all the racism heaped on Indigenous people.
Then he pretentiously built his life, including career, friendships, and accolades, on that pretending at something very real for us.

I've been pretty darn sure for well over a decade that the rumours about King were true and I'm STILL super bummed out. AAAARGH!!!

Like, it's pretty clear he knew that he was about to be outed and got in front of it. I truly was starting to wonder if he'd ever address it. This is a supposed "icon of Indigenous literature." He's been in the top ten recommended "Indigenous books" for decades. How do we even unpack that.

The open secret that Thomas King is not Indigenous at all is finally verified, and honestly it's a relief. Having him just confess this instead of going out kicking and screaming like so many before him causes a LOT less harm to Indigenous communities.
It still sucks though.

Ethnic frauds stir up so many terrible feelings in Indigenous folks, and I don't think the general public really understands this.
The goal of the ongoing colonial project has been the erasure of Indigenous Peoples, meaning our identity and existence has been undermined from every direction.

And it leaves Indigenous people wondering if they are the right kind of NDN.
There's just so much baggage that comes with this, and every ethnic fraud is salt in the wound.
