Aspirational Descent and the Creation of Family Lore: Race Shifting in the Northeast

A discussion of the recent trend for white French-descendants to "self-Indigenize" by using genealogy to create identity. Uses the example of Edmée and Catherine Lejeune, two Acadienne sisters born prior to 1635, who have been turned into “Mi’kmaw” women.
