    Do you want indigenous people to be carded any time they claim they have indigenous heritage?

      If it means anyone gets special treatment, grants, rights, gifts, awards, funds or significant recognition … and especially if it will mean millions of dollars in profits, income or wealth … by all means yes card any individual that claims indigenous heritage.

      It would put a stop to professionals, academics, writers, performers, artists and politicians from taking advantage of false native heritage to gain an unfair and illegitimate advantage in their field … and at the worst become and act as a representative of the people they have a hand in oppressing
