A non-Indigenous man was stopped from applying for a Certificate of Indian Status when it was discovered he was only trying to get one so he could wear a headdress to the Coachella music festival.
A clerk at Indigenous Services became suspicious when the man wrote Mumford & Sons in a section of the application form which asks about bands.
The incident is detailed in this video from our affiliates The Folk Lordz:
The Folk Lordz are Todd Houseman (Cree) and Ben Gorodetsky (absolutely not Cree). You can find more of their work on their website and their YouTube channel.
Walking Eagle News will be also posting more of their hard-hitting work in the coming days.
