I know a guy who does this. There is nothing about him remotely indigenous, or his parents, or anyone within 50 years of him. Grew up in the suburbs, very well off, it's literally a technicality, someone along the line was part indigenous, and he somehow clutched onto it in his 30s. He looks as white as Conan O'Brien. He abuses the living hell out of the tax advantages, and benefits. Re-sells the cheap tax free Tabaco etc....
It's not cool, and not who the benefits are designed for, and how they are designed to be used. At that point it's just a straight up tax scam IMHO.
