#ToxicPeople in #BritishColumbia preying on multiple Indigenous communities in Canada thread. Feel free to add your own, similar toxic shitbuckets of Canada to my list - which will be updated with other pathological liars running their shitgames all over BC.

This one is a mentally unstable, unmedicated bipolar nutjob who abandoned her only child & has lived out of motels/car for several years. Sex work is how she gets money. I have nothing against sex workers except for ones like her who try to traffick vulnerable young native girls & desperate older native women to get into sex work too - when they don't want to. I have a lot against ANYONE who tries to buy people with money & gifts as well - this is her way to get in with multiple naive ppl.

This #pretendian claims to be Cree. She is not #Indigenous whatsoever.

Good. She's a thief, a fraud, and a liar. She stole these accolades, millions of dollars, fame and fortune from deserving authentic Indigenous talent.
I don't care what she did for #indigenous people, she did it as a #pretendian and that negates the whole thing. She crafted herself as Indigenous when she saw there was a profit to be made.
Disgusting.
Beverley Jean Santamaria, #karma always kicks your butt. I hope you're ashamed of yourself.

In this Blake Lively article, the author makes a number of erroneous statements about herself. Unconfirmed family lore, physical traits and more...

"...my great-grandmother was Cherokee. Fascinated, I pored over every family picture my birth mom could dig up — I saw traces of it in my grandmother’s olive skin and dark hair, my birth mother’s high cheekbones. But I had some giant recessive gene and ended up with light hair and eyes."

Blake Lively Once Claimed To Be Part Cherokee In Controversial Makeup Ad

Johnnie Jae, an Otoe-Missouria and Choctaw journalist, podcaster and entrepreneur, agreed that Lively’s proclamation for her L’Oréal ad showed a “deep-seated ignorance” about the complex nature of Native American identity.

Buffy Sainte-Marie has been stripped of her Order of Canada appointment. First reported in the National Post [1]

If you are new to the story, for more context, I recommend watching the original 2023 CBC investigation by The Fifth Estate [2]

And counterbalancing that by reading Michelle Cyca's article "What's the Point of 'Pretendian' Investiations?" [3]

Finding out more reasons why my paternal ancestry is so very undocumented. Apparently, the records house for Newfoundland burnt down in the early 1950s. And I found out that the Salvation Army "teacher" at my dad's "school" (Newfoundland equivalent of Indian day school/residential school) destroyed all the records of students there.

Dad ran away and lied about his age to join the military.

Meanwhile, on Instagram, people I don't even know and have never met or spoken to are telling people I'm a Pretendian. I sure hate the whole Pretendian thing. Yes, there are liars out there trying to capitalize on false identities, but there are also modern-day witch hunters, and they are after me. Nothing I say will appease them. Blood quantum and colonialism are a helluva ride and I'd like off. #ResidentialSchools #BloodQuantum #Pretendian #WitchHunt

@bcinfo it's about time. I don't get how white women continue to perpetuate this kind of lie, and how they think once found out, they continue the lie.
I can only hope this is the last culture vulture of this kind in #canada #pretendian #colonization #kkkanada #decolonization #indigenous #reztalk
