Very useful, very timely

Drew Hayden Taylor has given us the best description of the 'pretendians' that we are ever likely to have. These white people pretending to be native Canadians are occupying teaching posts at the universities, and draining tax money from our governments. Imagine people calling a car dealer and asking for delivery of a car to a reserve, then showing a fake 'status card' which means they don't have to pay sales taxes on the vehicle.

Liana Constantino is interviewed; she is a Cherokee who has taken pains to expose a 'pretendian' named Robert Lovelace who teaches at Queen's University. Professor Lovelace proves to be very hard to locate, and the band he claims to belong to seemingly doesn't exist. Thanks to Mr Taylor for exposing a blight on our society.
