BILL C-31 — AN ACT TO AMEND THE INDIAN ACT: NOTES TOWARD A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF LEGISLATED INJUSTICE.

Cannon, Martin John
- Abstract
This paper focuses on the impact of Bill C-31: An Act to Amend the Indian Act. It is intended to present the results of some research I conducted in my own community, the Six Nations of Grand River Territory between August to November, 2001 (Cannon, 2004). I am concerned with interview data that addresses such matters as residency by-laws, intermarriage, boundary maintenance struggles and the negotiation of Aboriginal identities. It is my goal to problematize, treat as indispensable and indeed affirm the knowledges I have gathered in relation to Bill C-31. I also consider a research program that could work at finding answers to the multiplicity of questions and contradictions introduced by the Indian Act.
