@brokenthought6 @TheAgentNDN @vee_terra @markusoff @DaniParadis Oh no, a rando on the internet who is spouting a whole lot of shit, might think less of me. Whatever will I do. Please read Kim Tallbear's book, "Native American DNA: Tribal Belonging and the False Promise of Genetic Science" (we both have) and stop wasting our time.

Also, speaking of Conor Kerr, his book Avenue of Champions is a personal favourite, because it's set in my neighbourhood of Alberta Avenue, and it's awesome to see the book, and the neighbourhood, get some recognition!
