1985 - Bill C-31

The Progressive Civil Rights Act of 1869 is intended for people qualified to acquire Indian qualifications to exclude women marrying men other than India from treaty qualifications and other benefits. In 1985, this part of the bill was eventually abolished by the C-31 Act, a controversial measure that women gave the right to maintain the status of India after marriage. The bill also recovered by accepting voting rights, acquiring a college degree, or tolerating the right to service in the military during World War II. Over six years after the bill was formed, more than 69,000 people in India have once again acquired their status, but this does not mean that everyone will be accepted back to the reserves they left. Many bands believe that this law is another legal creation of the federal government There is no input from people, it is also a measure that caused many problems. Some reserves are already overcrowded, too many people share too few resources. Wealthy bands benefit from resource rental income and are concerned about opportunities to claim for those who are more interested in the financial interests of Indian status rather than maintaining local culture. The northern Alberta band strongly opposed federal court actions, but the Sorgue Band vs. Canada ruling supported the legislation. The difference in opinion that Bill C - 31 caused among the local people urged the government to relax in the process of designing a new class of "Indians." In essence, the government established procedures to allow the band to determine its membership list, and the result "Bill C - 31 Indians" now exists as a subgroup in the larger India position ing.

The law was revised significantly in 1951 and 1985. In the revision of 1951, the dance, the ban on rituals, and the demand on the government were lifted. In 1985 the bill C - 31 was announced. For details of this law, see "Indian legislation and women's position - discrimination by Act C 31 and Act C 3, the founder of Native Enterprise Training Company", and Bob Joseph, member of Gwawaenuk State, I got a training. The company was founded in 1994. He is an official trainer and assistant professor at Royal University and has a career in business administration and international trade.

The C-31 law is also called "revision of the Indian law", and in 1985 "C-31 law" was passed by law. This is mainly to deal with gender discrimination problems included in "Indian law". Indian law is consistent with Indian law. Charter of rights and freedoms in Canada. The problem of complex identity surrounding all indigenous peoples and land expands in the presence of indigenous women of identity related to land and culture but when married loses relationship with Indian identity. It is outside. The C-31 Act concluded this discrimination against indigenous women and made it possible for them to maintain their status regardless of the marriage partner. In addition, as an autonomous policy, Bill C-31 was modified to allow bands to control their band members (First Nations Research Program, 2009).

A woman who lost its status in India before 1985 due to marriage with an unknown person was deprived of social welfare by his colleagues. In 1985, the bill C-31 amended the "Indian Act" to allow many women and their children to regain their status. However, this bill fails to eliminate all forms of gender discrimination in this bill, and many indigenous women and organizations continue lobbying for change.

With the establishment of the Canadian Soil Service Bureau in 2017, Metis and non-status indigenous peoples were funded through this new department.
