Queen s U staff, associates accused of falsely claiming Indigenous identity by Colin Perkel, The Canadian Press Posted Jun 15, 2021 1:53 pm EDT Last Updated Jun 15, 2021 at 2:08 pm EDT Queen’s University has become embroiled in an increasingly public dispute over whether some of its faculty and other associates are falsely holding themselves out to be Indigenous, thereby harming the cause of First Nations people. An anonymous report into the identity claims posted on social media earlier this month takes specific aim at six academics and others associated with the school it says are not genuinely Indigenous. “Our findings confirm that Queen’s University is currently overrun with white Canadians making false claims to Indigenous especially Algonquin identity,” the report states. “We are confident that our thorough research has focused on six of the most prominent and harmful cases, most of whom play inordinate roles as ‘Indigenous’ gatekeepers on campus.”
