There are more than 830,000 First Nations people in Canada registered as having “Indian Status” according to the most recent Census data. But what is it and what does it mean for the people that have it?
We’ve seen many claims online about how First Nations people get tax exemptions, free housing, free education and more. APTN News: Answers looks into Indian Status and the reality of these so-called “free” aspects. -
🇨🇦 Senate unanimously passes bill to eliminate Indian Act's 2nd-generation cut-off
Bill S-2 now goes before the House of Commons
Senators voted 63-0 in favour of the motion, with eight abstentions.
Subsection 6(2) or the second-generation cut-off refers to a rule in the Indian Act where children are not eligible for Indian status after two generations of one non-status parent. It was added to the act in 1985.#Indigenous #FirstNations #Legal #IndianAct #BillS2

She echoes what #ComfortWomen from #Phillipines who now live here & shared their traumatic stories with me said. Many have now passed away. Some survivors here, told me, they believe #Canada is trying to do similar #delayed $justice #reparations for their #genocidal #crimes against the #Indigenous peoples here. They're not wrong. Canada let RCMP & their other #IndianAct agents take #NativeWomen & #abused & #exploited them just like Japan did w/many #AsianWomen in #WorldWarII .
