Beyond the concept of conflict of interest, your office deals with issues of ethics. As far as your understanding of the process of identifying an ethical issue is concerned, I believe this to be an ethical issue. Falsely identifying as indigenous for the political, personal and private benefit of attempting to displace one's own racist actions, for example, or one's own perceived racist actions in order to deflect or even to benefit from what could be a very racist claim but is negated because of a claim of being indigenous is something that exists in the political world.
In terms of your standards of ethics and understanding of ethics, does that breach or broach any kind of responsibility or effort that your office can undertake to better prevent that from happening?
