Vancouver School Board recommends staff pull Thomas King’s work after revelation he is not part Cherokee

December 4, 2025

The Vancouver School Board is advising staff pull the works of Canadian-American writer Thomas King from its libraries, classrooms and more after the author revealed last week that he discovered he is not part Cherokee.

The recommendation follows a Globe and Mail report that a U.S. organization dedicated to exposing false claims of Native American heritage had informed the prominent California-born writer of its genealogical finding about his ancestral history, and that he does not dispute what he learned.
