Celebrated author Thomas King expects 'firestorm' as he reveals he's not Indigenous

In an essay titled "A most inconvenient Indian" for the Globe and Mail, the Guelph, Ont.-based King says he learned of rumours several years ago that questioned his heritage. The California-born King says he made a concerted effort this year to find their origin, which brought him to a U.S. organization called Tribal Alliance Against Frauds.
