A Toronto woman convicted of Inuit identity fraud has been sentenced to three years in prison.

To carry out the fraud, Karima Manji used an Inuk woman, Kitty Noah, to obtain Inuit identities.

So much for white privilege.

Whites don’t even have the privilege to pretend to be Indians to get Indian privileges.

The Guardian:

A Canadian woman who fraudulently claimed her daughters were Inuit has been sentenced to three years in jail, in what is believed to be the first ever custodial sentence for a “Pretendian”.

Karima Manji, whose daughters accessed more than C$150,000 in benefits intended for Inuit, was sentenced on Thursday, after pleading guilty to fraud in February.

Nunavut justice Mia Manocchio said the case “must serve as a signal to any future Indigenous pretender that the false appropriation of Indigenous identity in a criminal context will draw a significant penalty”.

In recent years, Canada has grappled with a wave of cases in which people falsely claim Indigenous identity. Many of those instances feature vague and questionable affirmations of First Nations or Métis ancestry. Instances of Inuit fraud –and ones in which people successfully obtained official identity cards – are rarer.

According to an agreed statement of facts, Toronto resident Karima Manji submitted paperwork for her daughters Amira and Nadya in 2016 to obtain Inuit identity.

Canada’s Inuit population of around 70, 000 people, mostly lives in Inuit Nunangat, the vast northern homeland that spans more than 3m sq km.

Manji, 59, lived briefly in Iqaluit, the territorial capital, in the 1990s. But her daughters Nadya and Amira were born in Ontario and have no connection to Inuit or to the lands of Nunavut.

To deceive those reviewing the application, Manji claimed that she had adopted the pair, who she said had been born to an Iqaluit woman named Kitty Noah.

Despite going through a vetting review by community members intended to prevent fraudulent enrolment, Manji’s application was approved by Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, NTI, which oversees the process.

Amira and Nadya, 18 years old at the time, quickly used their newly acquired Inuit identity to access money from the Kakivak Association, described in court documents as “an organization serving Inuit by … providing sponsorship funding to Baffin Inuit for education-related expenses.”

Between September 2020 to March 2023 Nadya and Amira received C$158,254.05 in benefits from Nunavut organizations, according to the agreed statement of facts. A further C$64,413 was on hold for Amira Gill in the spring of 2023, but was not paid out.

According to a recent feature in Toronto Life, Nadya and Amira were vocal about their Inuit identity while at university. The pair started an online business, Kanata Trade Company, purportedly run by “twin Inuit sisters”.

You could believe the kids were Indians, irght?

Nadya and Amira

If race is all about appearance, I don’t see how they don’t pass.

I mean, the bitch is at least playing the role well.

Is anyone really anything?

I thought genetics were a white supremacist conspiracy…?

Daily Mail:

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s first Native American curator has had her credentials challenged by indigenous campaigners, according to a report.

Patricia Marroquin Norby, 53, won praise in 2020 after being hired by the famed museum, with The Met saying she was chosen after a ‘long and competitive search.’

She described herself as being proudly ‘Apache’ and the appointment was lauded by the museum.

But Native American groups tell The New York Post her roots are made-up.

‘She is definitely not Native American,’ one furious critic said.

The Met has weighed in on the row, insisting that she is telling the truth because she is a descendent of the ‘Pureapacha peoples’.

But the tribe, rooted in Mexico and parts of Texas, is not among the 574 officially recognized as being Native American.

Wait, are they accusing her of not being Injun at all, or of not being part of an “officially recognized” group of Injuns?

Can you not be an Injun unless the US government says you are?

Wouldn’t that be peak white supremacy and colonialism and the other stuff?

Norby took to social media this week to slam the allegations against her, claiming she is being targeted by a group of Native American women trying to ‘cancel’ her.

She denied the questioning of her roots, and said she is proud of her ‘Purepacha and Nde family roots from Mexico, northern Mexico and Texas.’

‘I am not going to hide my identity or family history in shame,’ she added.

She has claimed in numerous interviews and promotional work for The Met that she is of Purepacha descent, which is not officially recognized by the US Department of the Interior’s Indian Affairs division.

A spokesperson for The Met also insisted that ‘Patricia Marroquin Norby is of Purepacha descent and also descends from Indigenous communities in what is now Texas’ – but campaigners say that she does not have a legitimate claim to be a Native American.

Kathy Griffin, a member of the Cherokee Nation who compiled a genealogy of Marroquin Norby’s family, told The Post: ‘With all of the Native American scholars out there, we really wonder why the museum chose Patricia, who is definitely not Native American.’

Griffin alleged that in her analysis of her genealogy, there was no evidence that any of her direct ancestors were enrolled members of an officially designated tribe.

‘It’s genocide again of Native Americans,’ she said. ‘Now (white people’s) descendants are colonizing us again by claiming to be us.’

Is claiming to be something a genocide though?

Was anything whites did to Indians a genocide?

Keep in mind: Blood Meridian was a novel, written by a subversive Irishman trying to destroy America.

That shit didn’t actually happen.

Personally, as a non-subversive Irishman, I think that shit should have happened.

But you know, I’m the number one person calling for a urinal to be installed on Cormac McCarthy’s grave.

Fucking faggot.

We should have killed more Indians.

But pretending to be an Indian is not a genocide, actually. In fact, that will help the Indians, by giving them a better reputation, if someone who is not a drunk piece of shit is pretending to be an Indian.

You all know what the Indians did to me.

My Asian fetish is entirely due to Pocahontas. I watched that shit when I was a kid, and I was like “yo, dawg, that is for sure the hole the dick goes in.”

Then this became my life:

Disney is also responsible for my foot fetish, frankly:

That’s maybe less harmful, but more perverse.

I don’t even know what guy at Disney was like “let’s teach kids to lick toes.” He probably wasn’t even Jewish, frankly. Jews push much weirder shit. I don’t know really how weird or harmful it is to be like, “bitch, lemme lick them toes.”

But the race mixing taught me that only Asian women are good for fucking. I have zero attraction to white women, other than Russians. But that might be a weight thing. I mean, I still prefer Asian women, just as an aesthetic thing, but Western women are literal wild beasts. Also, maybe it isn’t Disney’s fault. Isn’t it sort of obvious that Asian women are just like, way more attractive?
