Her brother has been trying to take her down for decades. There are also questions about how documentation at times were altered in the community to give more opportunity to the adopted children. Anyone who knew would now be long dead.
I'm not sure what would be gained by the CBC going on a witch hunt after an 80 year old retired singer. She did nothing but honor the indigenous community her whole life. When I met her she was a very humble person, and not exactly living like a member of U2.
Bringing in experts on the subject, on something that I wouldn't immediately buy the validity of, is premature. Granted I just heard the radio break this down and haven't had time to read the article.
What is the cbc trying to accomplish? If she is only adopted, this is still the only life she ever knew. If she is in fact indigenous or metis, then cbc broke down an icon, to prove their white institution superiority.
Either way, #### you cbc.
