I found a separate thread that is about Rachel Dolezal, satirically named "Faith Eagle Nebula":

Faith Eagle Nebula  aka Rachel Dolezal before she was the head of the NAACP.

This article is actually a satire. Although it is worth reading and Dolezal has claimed NDN heritage.


--- Quote ---Red Like Me: I Knew Rachel Dolezal Back When She Was Indigenous
Rachel Dolezal, also known as Ms. Faith Eagle Nebula, donned her pretendian regalia for an interesting interview to say the least (satire)

I found a substantial 2015 article not posted here before:

https://walkerwrackspurt.wordpress.com/2015/07/01/honest-injuns-policing-native-identity-in-the-wake-of-rachel-dolezal/

Then I want to add the Wikipedia article about her (not posted before), which gives a good overview of events, up to 2019:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal

Sparks:
This thread is presently in the section "Odds and Ends" > "Etcetera". I suggest it be moved to "Frauds".

I also suggest the title be changed from "A Civil Rights Leader Has Disguised Herself As Black For Years, Her Parents Say" to  something like "Rachel Dolezal AKA Rachel Moore AKA Nkechi Amare Diallo" (at least that first name should be in the title).

--- Quote ---Meet the ‘race fakers’ — and the people tracking them down
When Rachel Dolezal was revealed to be white in 2015, it seemed like she was an isolated — and bizarre — case. But now Dolezal has a podcast, ‘transracialism’ has a following, and the ‘Alleged Pretendians List’ is revealing fake Natives everywhere from Hollywood to academia.

In addition to a lengthy comment on Rachel Dolezal and her podcast, there are references to TAAF and much about Jacqueline Keeler:


--- Quote ---Tribal Alliance Against Frauds that recently outed the author Erika Wurth, the Queens University professor Robert Lovelace, and the academic Sami Chen. Their methods include complex genealogical investigation conducted mostly by tribal volunteers. In Wurth’s case, that included the construction of a family tree going back six generations.

Jacqueline Keeler is a Native American journalist who has been helping to expose “Pretendians” since 2015.
