But Hank Rowlinson calls it a ‘drive-by smear campaign,’ promises legal action against those questioning his ancestry

EDITOR’S NOTE: After this article was published, our sister site MidlandToday learned that Cindy Cook is not the real name of the person who has posted genealogy records about Hank Rowlinson. She uses a pseudonym online to shield her identity because she says she fears retribution. The article has been updated to include those facts.

The Indigenous ancestry of the Métis Nation of Ontario’s (MNO) chair is being called into question.

While currently on leave as he deals with health issues, genealogy records provided to MidlandToday suggest Hank Rowlinson doesn’t have any actual FNMI (First Nations, Métis, Inuit) blood.
