In chapter 15, Heather Carter unpacks the whiteness of her skin which has led to her unfailingly being perceived as a white settler, despite her own identity as a Métis woman. The chapter explores the story of Carter’s identity, Indigeneity and success and impact of this “passing” on herself and community.
