The Mechanics of Descent. Lineal descent and the political use of indigenous women ancestors ; Aspirational descent: creating indigenous women ancestors ; Lateral descent: remaking family in the past -- Part Two. Race Shifting as Anti-Indigenous Politics. After Powley: anti-indigenous activism and becoming "Métis" in two regions of Quebec ; The largest self-identified "Métis" organization in Quebec: The Métis Nation of the Rising Sun -- Conclusion: White claims to indigenous identity. 520 "Distorted Descent examines a social phenomenon that has taken off in the twenty-first century: otherwise white, French descendant settlers in Canada shifting into a self- defined "Indigenous" identity. This study is not about individuals who have been dispossessed by colonial policies, or the multi-generational efforts to reconnect that occur in response. Rather, it is about white, French- descendant people discovering an Indigenous ancestor born 300 to 375 years ago through genealogy and using that ancestor as the sole basis for an eventual shift into an "Indigenous" identity today. After setting out the most common genealogical practices that facilitate race shifting, Leroux examines two of the most prominent self- identified "Indigenous" organizations currently operating in Quebec. Both organizations have their origins in committed opposition to Indigenous land and territorial negotiations, and both encourage the use of suspect genealogical practices. Distorted Descent brings to light to how these claims to an "Indigenous" identity are then used politically to oppose actual, living Indigenous peoples, exposing along the way the shifting politics of whiteness, white settler colonialism, and white supremacy."--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (ProQuest Ebook Central, viewed December 23, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 White people|xRace identity|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh98006796|zQuébec (Province)|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80001244-781 650 0 White people|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85146547|zQuébec (Province)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80001244-781|xGenealogy.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001949 650 0 Genealogy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85053742|xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005651|zQuébec (Province)|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80001244-781 650 0 Métis|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh88007566 |zQuébec (Province)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n80001244-781 650 7 White people|xRace identity.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1174825 650 7 White people.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1174816 650 7 Genealogy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/939652 650 7 Métis.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1031977 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Genealogy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423818 776 08 |iPrint version:|aLeroux, Darryl, 1978-|tDistorted descent.|dWinnipeg, Manitoba : University of Manitoba Press, [2019]|z9780887558467|w(OCoLC)1090688334 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2255834|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
