Elizabeth Hoover admitted that she had claimed Native American heritage that she did not have, apologizing for the 'hurt, harm, and broken trust' she caused.
In her statement, Hoover wrote:"Identifying as a Native person gave me access to spaces and resources that I would not have otherwise, resources that were intended for students of color.
She said that she was"a white person who has incorrectly identified as Native" her whole life, having relied on"family stories without seeking out a documented connection" to the Mohawk and Mi'kmaq tribes she claimed to be descended from. Actually the opportunity to resign is not appropriate. Elizabeth Hoover has admitted to professional misconduct, research ethics violations, harming Native students & colleagues, & violating tribal research sovereignty!She said that she had first been"directly challenged" over her ethnic identity at the start of her first professorial role, but responded with the story her family had told her rather than confirming her identity.
Her apology, which she said was likely"insufficient," has not quelled the outrage on social media—while some argued she had taken advantage of a biased system.
