The Indian Act: With Elder Bob Joseph - 1876-2021 Law - Canada's Indigenous Peoples
https://youtu.be/v5MUK2KcPvE [1:12:05 minutes]
This is a video for "The Indian Act", with some commentary from Elder Bob Joseph on "The Agenda" which concerns all Indigenous and all non-Indigenous Peoples of Canada, in some way. There are also videos in this channel for many North & South American Tribes & First Nations, Chiefs, Elders, Historical Events, Indigenous Concerns, Quotes, Environmental Youth Activists ..and much more. ------------------------------------------------ "The Indian Act" (long name: "An Act to amend and consolidate the laws respecting Indians, Loi sur les Indiens") ("the Act"), is a Canadian act of Parliament that concerns registered Indigenous people, their bands and the system of "Indian reserves". First passed in 1876 and still in force, with amendments,(over 36 of them) it is the primary document that defines how the Government of Canada interacts with the 614 First Nation bands in Canada and their members. Throughout its long history, the Act has been a subject of controversy and has been interpreted in different ways, by both Indigenous Canadians and non-Indigenous Canadians. The Assembly of First Nations describes it as: "a form of apartheid." 9 Amnesty International, the United Nations and the Canadian Human Rights Commission have continually criticized it, as: a human rights abuse. These groups claim, that the Canadian government does not have the right to unilaterally extinguish Indigenous/Aboriginal rights,something the government could legally do to "status Indians", up until 1985, through the process of enfranchisement and can still control, through status.Yet, despite controversy, the "Indian Act" is historically and legally significant for Indigenous Peoples. It acknowledges and affirms the unique historical and "constitutional relationship" that Indigenous Peoples have with Canada. For this reason, despite its problematic nature, efforts to outright abolish the "Indian Act" have been met with resistance. ------------------------------------------------- I claim no ownership of any of the clips, video and music expressed in this video...and employ my borrowing of them with much respect and thanks.
