EDIT: I deleted all my comments here. I did some digging and there is a ton of controversy in the native community about these claims, and an even larger controversy regarding the people involved - Jacqueline Keeler and Kim Tallbear - and of “pretendian hunters” in general. My comments were not bad, but after doing some digging I don’t think this is really my place to speak as I’m not native and don’t have any real familiarity with the issues here. I will say I urge people to look deeper into this issue because it’s more complicated than this expose is making out. Also I’m gonna feel fine continuing to listen to Buffy.
Sure as hell didn’t self identify on her daughters birth certificate back in 1941 when there would have been actual consequences to legally identifying as first nations

If her mother was the one who gave her the idea then wouldn’t the siblings also self identify that way? From the article it’s clear they don’t
