ICYMI - Maisonneuve magazine is publishing an article that I wrote about the anti-Indigenous/white supremacist origins of 2 largest "Québec métis" organizations in its next issue, out @ newsstands TOMORROW! Follow along for a sneak peek 😉

maisonneuve.org/news/2018/09/6… "In October 2004, a small group of hunters gathered in a large tent in the Chic Choc Mountains, south of Gaspésie National Park. Raymond Cyr, the director of an organization that delivers education for people with physical disabilities, had joined his cousin Marc LeBlanc, ...

More evidence of the fraudulent conduct by "Eastern métis" individuals and organizations. Check out the membership card for the Communauté Wik Wam Sun Oté, the "treaty partner" of the Council of the First Métis People of Canada [sic]. That same organization in NB had previously signed a "treaty" with the Métis Federation of Canada [sic]. They then hosted the first assembly of the Council of First Métis People of Canada [sic] in summer 2016.

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

newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/dna-a… 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

nationnews.ca/metis-movement…

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.

academia.edu/33742034/White… 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).

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

"Mixed, but not Métis" - a very courageous op-ed (in French) by @rosellam critiquing the recent construction of "Acadian-métis" identity.

Follow the thread for a few choice excerpts, translated into English!

acadienouvelle.com/mon-opinion/20… "I want to talk to you about Acadians who embarrass me. And for once, it's not about elected officials. I mean the Acadians who claim to be Métis out of the blue because they just found out that there might be benefits in doing so."

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!!

lechodelabaie.ca/paspeyas-autoc… 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."

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

cbc.ca/news/canada/no… 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).

French poodle (Mollie) and chihuahua (Snoopy) test positive for "Native American DNA" ... immediately become enrolled in "Québec Métis" organization and demand their "Aboriginal" rights. 🤨

newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/dna-a… I did 2 DNA ancestry tests with this company last year (1 anonymous) and they came back with significantly different results. Their "Native American DNA" product is a total fraud. There's ZERO way to test for tribal or FN origins. ZERO. This is photo of package they sent me.

Last night @CBCTheNational ran a video report on one of the many orgs representing "Québec Métis" (90% of its membership)... Confederation of Aboriginal Peoples of Canada/Québec [sic], which claims to have 50,000 members:

cbc.ca/player/play/12… It's clear from report that they're involved in fraudulent activities that harm actual Indigenous peoples' self-determination/sovereignty. It's only 1 of dozens of such orgs in ON, QC, NB, & NS. Here's the database that I've been compiling: docs.google.com/document/d/1AS…

Tweeting about @Pam_Palmater 2011 book "Beyond Blood: Rethinking Indigenous Identity" this morning. Just re-read it and revisiting some thought-provoking passages.

ubcpress.ca/beyond-blood There are many synergies with Jill Doerfler's 2015 book "Those Who Belong: Identity, Family, Blood, and Citizenship among the White Earth Anishinaabeg" and Palmater's focus on opposing strictly blood-based logics to define Mi'kmaw identity and belonging.

1- Taking a deep dive into the Communauté métisse du Domaine-du-Roy et de la Seigneurie de Mingan (CM) this am, the first self-declared “métis” org to file a court case post-Powley. That case reached the QC Court of Appeal in May 2017. Waiting for decision any day. 2- CM’s origins in January 2005 were in anti-Innu and white rights activism. They’ve left a LOT of traces, including in the 31 interviews (2007) with its founders that it submitted in the court case.

For those following debate about the “Acadian-Métis”, a new report by Seb Malette et al. was released this week that claims to prove definitively the existence of a second Indigenous people in present-day NS. "An Ethnographic Report on the Acadian-Métis":

docs.google.com/document/d/1BA… The report engages in some of the same leaps of logic that have become common among proponents of the existence of an “eastern métis” people. Allow me to outline some of the more egregious efforts … I’ll provide a more detailed analysis at a later time …

1- The largest self-identified métis organization in Canada started as a 9-member hunting rights organization that opposed a Mi'kmaw territorial agreement with the provincial government in Gaspésie (QC) in 2005. In 2017, it claimed to have 16,000-20,000 registered members. 2- That's right, from 9 members to up to 20,000 in just over a decade! They have a wide open membership policy that accepts a number of French women ancestors as Indigenous ancestors, such as Catherine Pillard (see below): nationalpost.com/news/canada/a-…

1- So, it turns out that my research and writing about white settler self-indigenization, what I'm calling hyperdescent --> race-shifting, has led to additional efforts to silence me. Follow along for a bit if you want to find out more! 2- The 'chief' of the new organization, the Council of the First Métis People of Canada (circa 2017), has put out a call to individuals and orgs to collect all of my communications re: 'Eastern Métis' in order to build a court case against me:
