505 0  Introduction: Self-indigenization in the twenty-first 
       century -- Part One. 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.
