Has he ever directly claimed to be Native American?
Boissonnault has said he stopped sitting with the Liberal Indigenous caucus when he joined cabinet in 2021. He said that when he sat with that caucus previously, it was in the role of an ally.
Boissonnault has referred to his adoptive great-grandmother repeatedly in public statements as a "full-blooded" Cree woman. He was given a Cree name in 2021, spoke Cree at least twice in parliamentary proceedings and self-identified as an "non-status adopted Cree."
His office has since clarified that his adoptive great-grandmother's family in fact had Métis heritage, and Boissonnault's past statements about Cree ancestry were based on "what he believed to be accurate his whole life."

Metis I'd imagine. Metis is intermarriage between Indigenous and settlers.
Still, if he's faking being Indigenous and he got caught then so long.

Too bad Iron Eyes Cody isn't still alive, he could have assigned him to his cabinet (he didn't have a shred of Native American blood either):

Even if it were true that his great-grandmother was a "full-blooded" Cree woman, that would make him 12.5% Native - in other words, not Native at all. |

He was a partner in a company that tried to get a government contract to supply medical equipment during COVID. The company didn’t manufacture the supplies, it would just buy them from China and sell them to the government with a big mark-up. Under our SJW-in-Chief Justin Trudeau, the federal government is obliged to give five percent of its contracts to businesses owned by Natives, which is certainly why his company bid on the job. |
