Indians are the most privileged conquered people in world history.

The amount of taxpayer freebies they get is stunning.

Some Indigenous people say that Martin perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Native people, like calling himself a “savage” in multiple tweets. Some who have looked into his claims about his ancestry and tribal enrollment told the Daily Dot that they are skeptical about his lineage.

A few said they even think Martin is a “pretendian,” or someone pretending to have Native and/or Indigenous ancestry.

Martin has insisted on multiple occasions that he is Native, but some Native people say that the way that Martin represents their community—which already struggles with visibility and representation—is damaging.

Plus, they say that a figure with questionable motives like Martin speaking for Native people with such a large platform combats the hard-won progress that Native activists and advocates have made in increasing wider understanding of modern Indigenous existence and struggles.

For this story, the Daily Dot investigated Martin’s claims about his ancestry and spoke with Indigenous people familiar with his online presence. Martin did not respond to multiple interview requests.
