New report's findings could kick 1,000 people off Algonquin membership roles and out of land claim deal

A new report says there is no evidence that Thomas Lagarde dit St. Jean, a man born in the early 1800s near Montreal, was in fact Algonquin. This is significant, because more than 1,000 Canadians claim to be Algonquin because Lagarde is one of their ancestors.
