The president of a public university in eastern Canada issued an apology stating that she will take a six-week paid leave of absence amid a review of her claims of Indigenous heritage.
In her statement, Memorial University president Vianne Timmons distinguished between claiming an “Indigenous identity,” which she denied having done, and an “Indigenous ancestry,” which she acknowledged.
“While I have shared that I am not Mi’kmaq and I do not claim an Indigenous identity, questions about my intentions in identifying my Indigenous ancestry and whether I have benefited from sharing my understanding of my family’s history have sparked important conversations on and beyond our campus,” she said. “I have been reflecting on this feedback from the Indigenous community, and I sincerely regret any hurt or confusion sharing my story may have caused.
