I guess King's story is closer to that of Joseph Boyden, who also grew up believing he was indigenous.

Boyden faced heavy criticism for not investigating his own roots earlier. But Thomas King's acknowledgement of his new truth and identity is more forthright than Boyden's initial public responses.

Still, you have to wonder why so, so many of the most famous and prominent "indigenous" personalities in Canada are turning out not to actually be indigenous at all.
