The BC Civil Liberties Association says it has rescinded the Reg Robson Award given to Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond as part of its 2020 Liberty Awards
Another award has been stripped from Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the former judge, law professor and British Columbia representative for children and youth whose claims of Indigenous ancestry have been discredited.
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. 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.rescinded honorary degrees
