Elders have been corrupted too. They get a pretty nice fee for making appearances as 'elders' all over BC, and likely the rest of the country.
Plus they get the younger folks to drive them all over the place so they can be 'elders' there too. I have a Metis friend who's always getting sucked into this drive around herself. I know she tries to stay true to the culture but... she was totally sucked into the 2S thing by the white anthro menz.
Lots of older FN lesbians and bi women started calling themselves by all the cool 'identities' now too. And of course straight women are suddenly shamans etc.
