Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has voluntarily returned the honorary law degree presented to her in 2013 by Vancouver Island University.
The university said it would not comment further on Turpel-Lafond’s case “as the matter is now concluded.” A CBC news investigation raised questions last year about her assertion that she was a treaty Indian of Cree ancestry. The Indigenous Women’s Collective, of Saskatchewan, requested universities who had given Turpel-Lafond an honorary degree rescind them.VIU said it will be reviewing its policy and procedure for nominating, awarding and rescinding honorary doctorates, and will continue consultations now underway to develop and implement an Indigenous identity policy.
