A Canadian woman was sentenced to prison for falsely claiming her daughters were Inuit to get scholarships and business grants. Karima Manji was given three years behind bars on Thursday after pleading guilty in February to one count of fraud over $5,000, reported The Canadian Press.

Manji's sentence is the first of its kind in Canada for a 'Pretendian' - a person who has falsely claimed Indigenous identity. 'This...

Remarkably, Edith Wilson—the president’s second wife, of just four years—along with...
