community of Baskatong that was known for its Algonquin and Métis population." In January 2021, it was reported that Latimer served CBC with a notice of libel, claiming to "have grave concerns about the fairness and accuracy" of the CBC's reporting on her ancestry. Latimer elaborated that the CBC "created a false narrative about my character and my lineage." She maintains:"The CBC article painted a picture of someone who is misrepresenting themselves as a fake and a liar. All I can say is that I never misrepresented who I was. I never intended to mislead anyone who I worked with. I tell Indigenous stories because that feels true to my experience, and it’s what I love to do. The fact that I’ve been painted as someone who has been profiting for my own gain feels so unfair and misguided." Latimer was later acknowledged as a relative of an Algonquin Elder from Kitigan Zibi, Annie Smith St. Georges, (known for her work with the National Arts Centre) who posted on Facebook that Latimer was "the grand niece of my grandpa and grandma, who were originally from Mishomis Baskatong."
