Ottawa citizens understand that the job of governing is hard. Getting agreement, growing an economy, serving citizens’ needs, and dealing with the inevitable crises that arise, require an endless well of dedication to the common good.
It’s a hard job when you have power, institutions and resources. Imagine trying to govern when these are absent, and worse, when your society’s values, capability and access to resources have been systematically stripped away for generations. No matter how hard you try, someone else decides what you can do and how you will do it.
This is the brutal legacy and current reality of the Indian Act. It is one of Canada’s oldest operating laws. It is supported by a massive bureaucracy designed to perpetuate its underlying tenet that Indian peoples are wards of the state – incapable of making their own decisions and doing what’s right for themselves. No other population in Canada is subject to such an oppressive legal and structural regime except, perhaps, people in prison.
