Amira and Nadya Gill, 25, are accused of lying about their heritage for money They said they'd been adopted and their birth mother was an Inuk woman
A pair of Canadian twin sisters have been charged with fraud after allegedly pretending to be Inuit to obtain more than $10,000 in scholarships and grants for their online business.
Amira and Nadya Gill, 25, were charged along with their mother, Karima Manji, with fraud of over $5,000 each.
According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, they told police they were the biological daughters of Inuit woman Kitty Noah, and that Manji had adopted them.
The lie won them scholarships and grants for their online business that sold COVID face masks.
The sisters regularly advertised the brand as Inuit-owned, and promoted it in the local media.
The fraud is said to have been between 2016 and 2022.
It remains unclear whether the girls are adopted, or if they are Manji's biological children.
The alleged fraud was first exposed in March, when the Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. announced it was investigating the girls' claims.
Noah, the Inuk woman who the girls had claimed was their birth mom, died in July this year.

What’s a poor Hindu
To do?
But claim to be Eskimo
To get some dough
From Trudeau
Destroy the machine.
So dear Freepers don’t despair
You must not quit
Just go stake your claims
Go be an Inuit
As others have done
For profits and fun
Gone on a money run
Scoring that Federale Dough
More than you know
If it was good enough for Sinator Fauxcahontas...
Hindu Nuffin.
I thought all one has to do today is “identify as”? Mentally ill men do it all the time when they demand we call them women.
This is like Obama.
Every government program with easy money is likely to receive 4x as many applications as persons eligible.
We be Blackfeet Indians
Two sisters. I thought for sure one was a boy.
Nice smiles, but plainfaced.
I thought it said “Intuit” and I thought, “I know QuickBooks is a criminal operation, but I didn’t know they were into PPE.”
I came on to make the same statement.
Gotta be quick on the draw. ;-)
I thought the shorter one was Justin Long.
I was probably about four or five years old so this was a loooong time ago, but I can remember the wampum belt that my parents bought me in Gatlinburg on a trip to the Smoky Mountains.
I think this makes me more Cherokee than Elizabeth Warren. If I can find a picture of the belt, I think I’ll declare my house a reservation, open a small casino in the basement, and sell tax free cigarettes from the porch. (Have to stay off city property, probably.)
It worked for Elizabeth Warren.
Well played, sir.
maybe they are transeskimo
