On 22 May 2016, the web site Polson Live published an article reporting that an 11-year-old white teen filed federal lawsuits (defendants unspecified) because she identified as a Native American elder: According to the article, two other individuals filed similar suits at the same time. One of the complainants was purportedly a young Korean woman who identified as an elderly person eligible for Social Security benefits, the other a sex offender who identified as a young female teenager: While not explicitly marked satire, this article is not real (and the names of the people involved, such as Iggy 'Insane' Ignokowichowianski and Bambie Buffy Remington make its intent clear. Further, the photograph was taken from a headdress retail web site, the Korean woman was a stock photo, and the image of the purported sex offender plucked from a pool of viral mugshots. There was no truth to the claim that the white teen girl filed suit for tribal rights, nor that sex offenders and the relatively youthful claimed to identify as victims and benefits-eligible elderly persons either.
