Another award has been stripped from Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the former judge whose claims of Indigenous ancestry have been discredited.
A statement from the BC Civil Liberties Association says it has rescinded the Reg Robson Award given to Turpel-Lafond as part of its 2020 Liberty Awards.
The association says board members believed Turpel-Lafond’s representations about her professional accomplishments and Cree heritage when it granted the award recognizing substantial contributions to civil liberties in B.C. and Canada. The statement says Turpel-Lafond has yet to account for the allegations about her heritage and her claims to various professional accomplishments, such as the award of a Queen’s Counsel designation in Saskatchewan, also remain unexplained.
In conferring its award on Turpel-Lafond, the association says it recognizes it “contributed to amplifying … Turpel-Lafond’s claims and position of influence,” and that her actions added to the “widespread pattern of Indigenous identity fraud, and the severe harms” related to colonial violence and assimilation.
McGill University, Carleton University and the University of Regina, last month rescinded honorary degrees awarded to Turpel-Lafond and she has returned degrees conferred by Vancouver Island University and Royal Roads.
