Local Afro-Anishinaabe woman weighs in on the discussion on Indigenous indentity 

I am always astonished about the number of people claiming indigenous heritage, who look more white than indigenous, but now claim indigenous status because they have the minimum blood percentage to qualify. That’s a mockery of the cultures and the wounds indigenous people carry historically and today due to discrimination and loss. I think people who look white and claim indigenous status do so because it’s very in to be indigenous today benefits.

more important than the story of buffy, I wish to thank this channel for having the comment section open to the public. I have seen so many indigenous and non- indigenous commentors speaking their truths about the buffy story. Indigenous peoples truths have been silenced for hundreds of years. The CBC institution continues the process of silencing the voices of indigenous and all canadians. Why? Canadians have no venue to express their thoughts on a multitude of subjects. Why is an organization, paid for by Canadians, restricting their voices.

I'm not an Indian but I am adopted. Adoption is inherently traumatic and to lie and say you were adopted when you weren't is wildly offensive. This isn't about ' what makes you an Indian' this is about a woman who is a pathological liar and has made money off of her victimhood when she in fact is not a victim of anything and is actually a very ungrateful and narcissistic white woman of privilege who made vile threats against her own family in order to keep up her victimhood charade. She's a monster

How does or should a white person approach championing indigenous rights or is that a welcome thing...maybe stupid question but would appreciate input

I find the CBC’s absolute obsession with identity politics nauseating.
