Pretendians’ under fire as petition gains traction across Canada – PelhamToday
Turns out genuine Indigenous people don’t appreciate claims of native ancestry based on scant to zero evidence
A new national petition hopes to remedy a hot-button issue that doesn’t appear to be going away.
The petition was started by Jo-Anne Gould Green, a Nipissing Algonquin Anishinaabe-Ikwe who’s a member of Ontario’s Pikwàkanagàn First Nation, who wants Canadians to voice their opposition to what she views as a growing and concerning problem.
“With the numbers of pretendians ever-increasing across Canada and interfering with the sovereignty of true Indigenous people, one woman has decided to fight identity fraud all the way to the Canadian House of Commons,” Gould Green’s petition reads.
