Indigenous Services Canada’s top official addressed the “contentious issue” of Indigenous identity in the public service by urging greater honesty in self-identification, in a recent internal blog leaked to CBC Indigenous.
“The key is to honestly tell your truth,” wrote deputy minister Gina Wilson in the blog, which was circulated internally June 13.
Her post followed efforts by First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders to draw attention to the issue, including by demanding governments act to halt the rise of Indigenous identity theft.
The minute you incentivize “identity” the grifters come out.
It is a toxic to any workplace.
And why is it necessary?
I have never owned slaves or passed smallpox blankets to aboriginals.
But if I must be punished then equality demands that Blacks and Aboriginals pay for their sins.
