Award-Winning Indian Author Not Really Indian
Being an oppressed Indian has paid off well for award-winning author Thomas King. However, it turns out he is not an Indian after all:
The announcement follows a mid-November meeting with King and members of the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds, a US-based group dedicated to exposing people who falsely claim American Indian heritage. …
King won the RBC Taylor prize for non-fiction for his book The Inconvenient Indian, in 2014, and the Stephen Leacock memorial medal for humour for his work Indians on Vacation, in 2020.
Like leftist Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who launched her alarming career on a DEI basis, King has claimed to be part Cherokee.
“[Tribal Alliance Against Frauds] suggested that I might want to offer up an apology for my life”, King wrote, “but an apology assumes a crime, an offence, a misdeed”.
King says he didn’t do anything wrong by helping himself to the privileged status of the allegedly oppressed, because he didn’t know that he didn’t have trace Indian ancestry.
King was born in California but has lived in Canada since 1980. His reputation grew in Alberta as an Indigenous studies professor at the University of Lethbridge.
King has said he intended to return the National Aboriginal Achievement award he received in 2003.
However, he won’t be handing over his other awards to real Indians, because “The rest of my awards are based on my writing, not my ethnicity.” Eyebrows wouldn’t rise much higher if he said he took part in the Trail of Tears.
We’ll take him at his word that he thought his grandfather was part Cherokee — but he still gets a spot on the Racial Imposter List:
