Defend Academic Freedom for Scholars Researching Indigenous Identity Fraud in Canada
We, the undersigned academics, issue this public statement to express our deep concern with the subversion of Indigenous rights and title that will result from the Court of King’s Bench for Saskatchewan’s ruling in Coupal v. Leroux (QBG‑RG‑00735‑2022). This summary decision upholding a claim of defamation is not only a threat to Indigenous rights, it is also a direct threat to academic freedom, a core tenet of free speech and scholarly rigour. This has serious implications for further research that will support Native communities, Native sovereignty and in particular, the dire threat that self-indigenization poses to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis governance in Canada today. Research that documents, analyzes, and publicly challenges colonial, white possessive understandings of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis laws, including that which focuses on claims to belonging within our nations is squarely in the public interest. Indigenous and non‑Indigenous scholars must be free to pursue these lines of academic and intellectual inquiry and to share their findings publicly—without fear of institutional retaliation or legal reprisal—particularly when those findings are uncomfortable for institutions invested in maintaining the status quo. The implication of Justice Labach’s statement at paragraph 175 should trouble all academics and all members of the public. There, the judge chastises Dr. Leroux for making comment on matters that were, at the time, under consideration by a tribunal: “rather than letting the matter be properly determined according to the policies and procedures set out by the AOO [Algonquins of Ontario] to police their own membership, Dr. Leroux chose to pursue the matter in the “court of public opinion”.” Academics of all disciplines, particularly faculty members in law and politics, are very frequently called upon to provide public commentary and share knowledge on matters that the judiciary--one of the three branches of government--adjudicate. “Public opinion” is not only essential for the functioning of a free and open society, it is constitutionally guaranteed. And though we should not be surprised, we should still be alarmed by the colonial court’s sweeping power to outright disregard Indigenous sovereignty over how we constitute ourselves as nations, especially the members of our political communities. For all of Justice Labach’s hand-wringing over the Algonquin tribunal’s authority and “letting the matter be determined by the AOO Tribunal whose very task it was to determine issues like these” (para. 175), it is astonishing to read his wholesale dismissal of the same at paragraph 189, where he states: “I do not consider the [Algonquin] Tribunal’s decision that Thomas Lagarde is not Indigenous and, ergo, those descended from him are not Indigenous as mitigating.” First Nations, Inuit, and Métis have the right to determine membership in our nations and peoples, and colonial courts cannot disregard our own determinations or concerns out of hand. For these reasons, this decision must be appealed. We are therefore raising funds to support our colleague, Dr. Darryl Leroux, and to defend his right to continue urgent, publicly valuable work that protects the rights of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis to determine membership through their own governments’ laws, protocols, and sovereign decision‑making processes. About the Legal Defense Fund Purpose: This is a legal defense fund established to cover legal costs and related case expenses required to protect the academic freedom and scholarship of Dr. Darryl Leroux. This research on claims to Indigenous identities is of public interest and it should be protected. Use of funds: Donations will be used exclusively for legal representation, court fees, expert affidavits, document production, and other litigation‑related costs. Any surplus will be directed to The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund. Governance & accountability: The fund will be overseen by a small steering committee of Indigenous scholars and community representatives.
