A new documentary tackles a topic that continues to generate controversy. Why are so many people claiming to be Indian?

There is a growing movement to identify and call-out people who have fraudulently held positions by claiming indigeneity like Cheyanne Turions, Joseph Boyden, Michelle Latimer and Carrie Bourassa.

For years, candidate Marie Crabb has claimed to be Mescalero Apache. Those claims cannot be verified.

There’s been a continuing stream of prominent people who initially benefitted from their Indigenous identity but were forced to backtrack when those claims couldn’t be documented.
