The Wannabes and the Gottabes (6N vs. G8)

Who’s this guy? There’s nothing wrong with ‘wannabe indians’…it shows interest in the culture, empathy with the struggles and celebration of the ways. The name is unfortunate, but. Then there’s the ‘gottabes’…those who somehow have convinced themselves they are native in a past life, or have the right to claim land because they are so spiritually elevated ‘they know best’. These are the self-appointed gurus of life (come in every colour, stripes may or may not be included).

Guillaume ‘Billy’ Carle, a buddy of Phil Fontaine (=apple) seems to be a gottabe. He’s promoting his company, Confederation of Aboriginal People of Canada (CONC…or is that CONQueror?) that promotes non-status , non-native and maybe even cats and dogs to join…all in the name of protecting ‘their’ culture. Who’s culture? This Quebec man of European heritage? Natives? It’s a hocus pocus money operation no doubt living off government grants and their few member’s fees. Nothing like the conqueror telling natives how to do things…seen and heard it before. There’s many, many a non-native who knows to suggest, to learn, to help…it’s not done with ego.

Recently the Six Nation Clan Mothers gave him the boot …speaking of which, why all the media attention to the G8 and only negative to the 6N??? Oh, I forgot, Canada doesn’t like to regard it’s own laws….silly me! Let’s divert to the world stage. Good show so far, eh? A bunch of people going yay, nay, maybe.

Please read Kahentinetha Horn’s article on this flim-flam man…it will get you roaring for sure.

BTW, I photoshopped this ‘gottabe’ …seeing as he’s speaking up for the June 29th day of protest in his perception of his ’spiritually correct’ role of ‘I am everyman, my home is everywhere’ (gag me), I thought I’d make him look how he sees himself:

Does he cut it? Naw!
