He is a fraudster and Canadians have no doubt in it but his industry bakers have to stand behind him because of all the investments in his projects and the projected returns he is expected to get them. But now that he has been exposed as acting Injun like his uncle, and if his future books sales don't excite the readers, then the investors aka backers, will drop him like a lead ball in the ocean. Forever he is tainted, his legacy is not his fiction alone but the fiction about his life a well. Jus like we cannot differentiate Michael Jackson without his accusations of pedophilia, Boyden's work will be always tainted with selfish claims of his non existent Aboriginal origins, robbing many an aboriginal writers their due grants.
