What is the Indian Act?

from Indigenizing Education for a Better World Hosted by Kiely RUssell

“What is the Indian Act?” In today’s episode I will be sharing my research with you about this most racist piece of Canadian legislation and why the Indian was integral to the Confederation of Canada and discussing some of the laws that are a part of Canada’s dark past. Growing up as a Scottish settler’s daughter in treaty 8 territory in Fort McMurray, Alberta in the 1980s and 1990s I never learned about this and now that I have I am convinced that all Canadians need to learn about Canada’s dark and racist past and current realities in order to move forward in a good way. So let’s get a cup of coffee and dive in with an open mind, an open heart and in a good way!
