Changes to Canada’s Indian Act that corrected generations of discrimination against indigenous women have now come into effect.
The former rules caused indigenous women to lose Indian Status when they married non-indigenous men, while indigenous men who married non-indigenous women kept their status.
The changes in Bill S3 now give provisions for the descendants of those indigenous women who previously lost their status an opportunity to have it restored.
The Bill was passed at the federal level after a Quebec Superior Court decision ruled the sex discrimination in the Indian Act violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Canadian Feminist Alliance for International Action called it a great first step toward implementing the recommendations of the national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.
