Well I hope everybody is happy. First Nations has lost a spokesperson on their behalf that was actually listened to and taken seriously.  Mr Boyden has endured a public shaming and has had to recant Soviet -style for his 'sins'. This whole issue has been very petty from the start and has only produced harm and negativity.  Who care what he is?  I don't believe he misappropriated any funds meant for 'real' First Nations' writers, because if their work was any good, they would have received said funds.  'Cultural Misappropriation'?  That means one can only write about what one has personally experienced...sure would eliminate thousands of authors and books from the profession.  It also means no 'white' person can ever write another book on our First Nations, hear that Alexandra Shimo (who by the way wrote a very interesting one), Thomas Berger (Little Big Man)?..talk about censorship.  Seriously, get over yourselves and move on.  We have more important First Nations issues to deal with.
