The Indian Act : evolution, overview and options for amendment and transition / John Giokas.Z1-1991/1-41-130E-PDF

This paper has been prepared by a non-Aboriginal lawyer as an introductory overview of the Indian Act and its historical context. It is an internal document to stimulate more detailed research on particular problem areas and is largely based on published materials, often of a historical nature, most of which have been prepared by non-Aboriginal commentators. In addition, it will often employ the terminology used in many of the materials and legislation under examination, notwithstanding that many of these terms are now avoided because of their perceived racist or sexist origins and overtones.
