Remember when a company tested 2 dogs as having "Indigenous" DNA? Well, it appears that the company, Accu-metrics (Viaguard), has now stopped offering its "First Nation, Metis & Native American DNA Testing Service." #raceshifting #selfindigenization

But not before its service facilitated the race shifting process. Here's an example of a new "métis" org in QC that was created on the strength of their bogus DNA testing. They have a partnership agreement. #raceshifting #selfindigenization

A few months later, the "chief" of that organization traveled to Paris with a range of other "chiefs" to file an official complaint with the UN about the federal government's non-recognition of their claims to Indigenous identity and rights.

About a year ago, @adamgaudry and I published an article that analyzed 2 organizations facilitating race shifting: "White Settler Revisionism and Making Métis Everywhere." Follow the thread for access to an important data source.

I've since found an English-language translation of the brief that the (now) Métis Nation of the Rising Sun [sic] presented back in 2007 to the Bouchard-Taylor Commission arguing that there are no distinct Indigenous peoples in QC, only the "métis"! (4 pages of 6 attached). 
The brief, presented to a public audience in Sherbrooke, starts by saying: "We present you this document as the only direct descendants of the First Peoples in QC, [...] whose members have been killed by microbial shock." #biologicalracism #raceshifting #selfindigenization
Guess what? The race shifters have struck again --> #JustinTrudeau is "Eastern métis"! 🤨🤔
The Feds just met with this org to encourage "reconciliation" - and now they indigenize the Prime Minister through a French-woman-magically-turned-Indigenous. Follow the thread for more!

The story (see below) explains that #JustinTrudeau has Acadian ancestry through the Savoie patronym/line. François Savoie married Catherine Lejeune in present-day Nova Scotia in 1655. #raceshifting #selfindigenization

There's active Acadian genealogy community seeking to identify Indigenous women in 1600s for purpose of constructing "Acadian-métis" identity today. Catherine Lejeune, a woman born in France, has fallen victim to the #selfindigenization movement through no fault of her own.
More remarkable efforts by Métis Nation of the Rising Sun [sic], which was founded by 9 hunters in 2006 to oppose a Mi'kmaw territorial project. 2 weeks ago in court they claimed that their "Métis Nation" has existed for over 10,000 years!!

A few choice excerpts in translation: "The [Métis Nation of the Rising Sun] was incorporated on June 16, 2006, but the Gaspésie [and region] Métis community was born 10,000 years ago."
Their Grand-Chief [sic] continues: "The Nation [sic] will submit treaties, including contracts demonstrating Aboriginal rights over its vast territory, rights to hunt, to fish ... that have never been surrendered, territory reserved [for] all natural descendants to infinity."
Part 3 in @ChiuCBC + @CBCNews series on so-called "métis" groups in NS. Turns out that the feds have been meeting with 7 of the groups in the name of "reconciliation"! #selfindigenization #raceshifting

It's worth posting this table again given attention that "Acadian-métis" organizations have been getting in media. Remember that organizations representing a distinct "métis" people in NS first emerged after the Marshall decision (1999) + again after the Powley decision (2003).
Another table looking at these remarkable stats from another angle. This time, the proportion of Aboriginal people identifying as Métis in the census:
