Jani Lauzons ancestry has been undeniably confirmed as not indigenous. She admits she is not Métis. Wiki should not list her as Métis still and though it is up for debate. It is not. Beverly Santa Maria’s wiki is done well and updated according to her fraud and the truth. Janis needs to be drastically updated. She has spent decades grifting as indigenous and stolen much in grants, jobs and awards from real indigenous people. 135.12.162.209 (talk) 23:34, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
> Jani Lauzons ancestry has been undeniably confirmed as not indigenous.
It really hasn't. Reliance on colonial records as supposed proof that someone is not Indigenous (as the recent "expose" of her does) is fraught with error due to the racist attitudes the Canadian government has historically had toward Indigenous peoples. I cited the Walrus article as evidence that her identity has been questioned, but stating it as fact likely violates WP:GRAPEVINE.
> She admits she is not Métis.
She has not done so. The only place her story has even changed is her website, which I'm not sure is particularly notable.
> Beverly Santa Maria’s wiki is done well and updated according to her fraud and the truth. Janis needs to be drastically updated.
Buffy Sainte-Marie does in fact no longer publicly identify as Indigenous. This still doesn't make the "Pretendian" allegation reliable for Jani Lauzon.
> She has spent decades grifting as indigenous and stolen much in grants, jobs and awards from real indigenous people.
This is opinion, not a fact.
It should also be noted that you didn't provide a citation for her being Hungarian. As far as I'm aware, even the Walrus didn't claim that, so I'd be interested to see where you got this from.AceSevenFive (talk) 00:15, 26 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
She has no belonging to indigenous nations or community. Her family is all non indigenous as far back as five generations as stated in the article. It was verified. The only not fact is Jani stating she is indigenous and people like yourself believing she has the right to do so. She does not. Her claim doesn’t make it truth. She is Hungarian an her mothers side I’ve seen her again verified ancestry records. Also yes read the article again Jani admits to not being a Métis, and says that is just what everyone said in the past when they didn’t know which indigenous they were. I would like to speak to another editor on that matter is not one of her friends. There is no reason why I an actual Métis person needs to spend my time arguing with someone who is not even reading properly my very valid complaint 135.12.162.209 (talk) 01:09, 26 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Also I’m pretty sure I’ve seen your comments under that same name acesevenfire on Reddit defending Jani as well. There has to be a policy against this? I’m not looking to get into a debate with a Jani fan I am looking for real accountably on a very important issue that I will state again is a crime 135.12.162.209 (talk) 01:12, 26 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
