The Indian Act. Without question, this legislation [the Indian Act] struck at the heart of what was most sacred to West Coast societies. In so doing, it put in question the very survival of these nations…27 The application of the federally legislated Indian Act has had enormous implications for the First peoples. The Act was the cause of many significant losses to First Nations people including: the loss of land (made it illegal to fight land claims); loss of membership and Indian Status (marriage of a First Nations woman to a non-“Indian” man); loss of children (residential school); and loss of traditional government structures. Aboriginal women have been particularly impacted by application of the Indian Act. It has contributed to the erosion of their traditional roles as First Nations citizens/mothers and women. The membership provisions in the Indian Act have had and continue to have an enormous impact on Aboriginal women. The Act defined, and still defines, who is recognized as an “Indian”, when an Aboriginal woman married a non-“Indian” man she lost her “Indian Status” and membership in her community. Many women suffered the loss of culture, loss of membership in community, loss of family, as well as the loss of living in their traditional territories. The 1985 amendments to the membership provisions of the Indian Act (Xxxx C-31) have remedied the situation for some women, but many women (and their children) continue to be denied status. Others, who may have been successfully reinstated, have not had their children recognized as “Indians” and have had difficulty returning to their home communities because of a lack of housing and discrimination against them as “Xxxx C-31 Indians”. Furthermore, Aboriginal women living on reserve continue to be treated differentially upon the dissolution of marriage than women living off reserve. This was identified by the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: 26 AFN at 14.
