i’m jurying applications for this residency for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists and one of the applicants is Indigenous Kashmiri like did they even read the guidelines for the residency? it said it’s specifically for FNMI right in the first sentence.

so for any Indigenous folks from outside of Turtle Island please understand that your personal Indigenous identity does NOT grant you access to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit opportunities, and when you come here you are a settler on these lands.
