The urge to 'play Indian' among privileged white women is far from confined to the U.S. Over in wokester Canada, they found another one.
According to the New York Post:
She’s Sitting Bulls-t.
A Canadian medical researcher who rose to become the nation’s top voice on indigenous health has been ousted from her government job and her university professorship — after suspicious colleagues investigated her increasingly fanciful claims of Native American heritage and learned she was a fraud.
Carrie Bourassa, a public health expert who served as scientific director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research’s Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health, was suspended on Nov. 1, five days after the state-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation published a lengthy expose on her background.
Far from being a member of the Métis nation, as she had long claimed, a laborious trace of Bourassa’s family tree revealed that her supposedly indigenous ancestors were in fact immigrant farmers who hailed from Russia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.

I know where there is a big fat fake woman in the U.S. Navy!!!
Actually, if we’re talkin’ the same entity, it is in the public health club, not the navy. Still a 4 star or something. I don’t use caps for the navy any longer either. Not my dad’s, mine or my youngest daughters navy.

Maybe it was the “PopWow Borscht” recipe from her great grandmother she submitted that was the tell...
You forgot FUGLY!
Minor correction. It is not in the Navy. It is in the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. The federal uniformed service of the U.S. Public Health Service and is one of the eight uniformed services of the United States.
It is not only bizarre that a fake woman is an “admiral,” but it is also bizarre why the Health Service is a “uniformed service” of the USA.
You must mean that dude who makes himself look like Bruce Vilanch.
There should be no shame in it, since it seems like people are allowed to identify however they may choose these days.
The Metis “Tribe” is a weird tribe, originating in the intermarriage of Native women with white settlers. I don’t know how it ever achieved status as a distinct tribe (because of prejudice against intermarriage with Natives?), but this woman sure LOOKS Native, and her claims about her ancestry might be true.
What is with that? Why? Then you have the Surgeon General in military uniform. Who started this crap?
Those if us old enough will remember Iron Eyes Cody, the crying indian from commercials about pollution and littering.
Good causes, don’t get me wrong.
But he was really Espera Oscar de Corti, mother from Sicily and father from Italy.
Liawatha Warren’s sister?
I might start identifying as a Native American. If a dude can be a chick, I can be Geronimo.
I’d salute Captain Crunch before “Admiral” Levine.
The National health Service is not the Navy!
I self identify as an elephant, and if anyone has a problem with that I will whack them with my trunk!
This topic was also addressed yesterday with links to a New York Post Article.
Colleagues at her university did some digging into her background and found out her family roots are from central Europe. A grandfather had some sort of honorary membership with the Metis. This was never formally acknowledged by the tribe and too tenuous for the lady to hold the position as an indigenous person.
The subtext in that article is that she pushed her claims a little too hard in a TED Talk she gave and folks looked into it.
It seems as if the 21st Century marked by an exolosion of men who want to be women and women who want to be anything else.
