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. -

"If we're talking about replacing anything, there needs to be a restoration and rebuilding of the original laws, governance structures and the treaties and the treaty relationship that existed, and was the intent of what the nation-to-nation relationship was supposed to be."

🇨🇦 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

"Of the four, it was narrowed down to pretendians or Indigenous identity fraudsters. We wanted to go with Indigenous identity fraudster because the definition of fraud is “wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.” We wanted to call a fraudster a fraudster."

I woke up with the number 1876 on my mind. I think I was doing math in my dream. Then again, I just looked it up and it was the year the Indian Act was implemented in Canada: some of the most racist legislature in the world, and it’s still implemented today. #dream #DreamLog #IndianAct https://www.ictinc.ca/blog/21-things-you-may-not-have-known-about-the-indian-act

Legislation to amend #IndianAct continues #discrimination
What we learn from this story:
• Clauses in Bill C-38 will not allow victims of Cda’s #assimilation policies to seek reparations
• “Two-parent rule continues Canada’s program of forced assimilation.” —Lori Idlout, MP
• Cda discrimination “underscores the sense of colonial entitlement.” –Jenny Kwan, MP
• Bill allows individuals, specifically #Métis, to remove names from Indian register and band list. -

Bill C-38 is being debated in the House of Commons. It’s the latest amendment to the Indian Act that attempts to remove discrimination baked into that legislation.
Bill C-38 deals with Indian status; who had it, who lost it, and who gets to have it back, and how that status will be transmitted to descendants.
Some members of Parliament say this new remedy again falls short.

Today in 1876, the Indian Act is introduced. The Act dismantles traditional systems of Indigenous governance. The Act also requires Status Indigenous to give up their status to vote (until 1960). Indigenous women are also barred from voting in band council elections.

Fuck these #greedy #sellouts 🤑🤬
We've been fighting against their #FishFarms for DECADES! They're #IndianAct colonized capitalists & disconnected from their own peoples. I know because I've been in the wild salmon protection battle for 16 yrs. We've confronted these sellouts. They are awful & cowardly humans. #ShameOnThemGrr.

@davidpmaurer Fucking ongoing colonizer BS. Many zero payments or any reparations in Canada for Indigenous. Canada govt only talks to sellouts they created under oppressive & unjust #IndianAct - still use divide & conquer methods. Only less resistance now because they've brainwashed many & left little economic options on tables. Fucked up #colonizers #exploitation & it's planned. #BeSmarter
-
The fact is that #Canada owes #trillions to #FirstNations here because #Canadian #government knowingly #stole #billions from #IndianTrustFund under #IndianAct & never even honoured any actual #treaties signed since inception of #KKKanada . Most #colonial Canadian #citizens don't even know their own country's #cruel & #shameful #RealHistory - #LEARN IT!

I’ve even been quizzed by other Indigenous people on my blood quantum. It’s gross. #Indigenous #Genocide #BloodQuantum #RacismStillExists #IndianAct

#UmistaCulturalCentre was built on grounds of now demolished St. Michael's #ResidentialSchool in #AlertBay on #CormorantIsland . Owned & run by #NamgisNation on #NamgisTerritory . It houses their #potlatch #artifacts / #regalia repatriated from colonizers who stole them. No photos inside.

RCMP CIRG get 6 months training & it's fast tracked if higher up in ranks too. Ppl outside Canada - RCMP CIRG was created shortly after #IdleNoMore movement shutdown Canada & govts got scared. CIRG is full #corporateMercenaries unit, #funded by #public #TaxDollars & they use #violence on #Indigenous #FirstNations peoples on their own #Unceded lands. Govt depends on public #ignorance on #IndianAct & choose #BandCouncil #sellouts to talk to; who have ZERO #jurisdiction on non reserve lands.

Blocked a #BCNDP #NewDeathParty #apologist & supporter. She'd been following me for a month. I wasn't sure what her political leanings were until her own toots revealed a right wing supporter of BC NDP - #WhiteLady spreader of #disinfo about #Indigenous & supports govt & industry #exploiting #IndianAct to 'pick their own apples' while ignoring #FirstNations #LandDefenders & using #RCMP to break unceded #Native #sovereignty 👿
DON'T FOLLOW ME if you defend #HorganizedCrimes in #SuperSelloutBC 👌
