It's one thing to search into your Native ancestry ... I'm full blooded Indigenous and I would support anyone that would want to look at their family connections ... personally, I know a variety of Indigenous people - full blooded brown skinned Native people that were born and raised on the land ... all the way to half bloods with blonde hair and blue eyes with full status

It becomes something else when someone claims ancestry with the goal of using that connection to make money, find financial support, further their career or take a financial / business / academic / professional shortcut.

People should look into the ancestry ... but they shouldn't use it under false pretenses, especially if it means gaining money.
