Finding out more reasons why my paternal ancestry is so very undocumented. Apparently, the records house for Newfoundland burnt down in the early 1950s. And I found out that the Salvation Army "teacher" at my dad's "school" (Newfoundland equivalent of Indian day school/residential school) destroyed all the records of students there.

Dad ran away and lied about his age to join the military.

Meanwhile, on Instagram, people I don't even know and have never met or spoken to are telling people I'm a Pretendian. I sure hate the whole Pretendian thing. Yes, there are liars out there trying to capitalize on false identities, but there are also modern-day witch hunters, and they are after me. Nothing I say will appease them. Blood quantum and colonialism are a helluva ride and I'd like off. #ResidentialSchools #BloodQuantum #Pretendian #WitchHunt

I haven’t been on Instagram in a few years because someone who I thought was a good friend suddenly started a harassment campaign against me accusing me of being a pretendian. It was extremely distressing. I put my account to friends-only and abandoned the platform for the sake of my mental health. Today I went back and checked my alerts for the first time in a couple of years. I saw that @augurmag had nominated me for an Aurora award for my story “Wolf Mother,” which made me smile. But then I saw that someone spammed the comments asking if the magazine has looked into my ancestry. What the actual fuck? First of all, you don’t need to be of any particular ancestry to write for the magazine. And secondly, I’m not faking anything. I am who I am. People can check my ancestry all they want. Maybe they should check to see if I’m actually of European ancestry, too, because there are no records of that on my dad’s side. Maybe I don’t actually exist. I’m a figment of everyone’s imagination. It really sucks to be undocumented. But I know who I am and how I was raised on the land and with what teachings.

A friend of mine is Inuk. Both of her parents are Inuk. But because she was kidnapped by cops and social workers in the 60s scoop and sold to a white couple to raise, people accuse her of not being Inuk. If a full-blooded Inuk goes through this shit, what hope do I have as a mixed-race person raised outside of community?

There needs to be a support group for people who are harrassed by pretendian hunters. I know a lot of people who are affected by this, and it causes suicide.

Cyber bullies drove Inuk singer Kelly Fraser to take her own life. I really think that’s what my attackers have been trying to get me to do, too. https://globalnews.ca/news/6347384/kelly-fraser-cause-of-death-suicide/amp/

#BloodQuantum laws exist to keep you on the side of the colonists and not your native cousins. It's propaganda to keep your allegiance on the side of the federal government instead of your family
