Canada’s largest First Nation is introducing a citizenship code to take control over its membership lists as the federal government prepares to enact legislation that could create tens of thousands of new status Indians while removing the last vestiges of sexism from the Indian Act.
The Six Nations of the Grand River in Southwestern Ontario held a referendum that ended June 1 with two-thirds of the small handful of voters who cast a ballot saying they wanted the new code, which, according to its preamble, preserves the First Nation’s cultural and political integrity as well as its sovereignty.
The concern of the First Nation is that many people who can trace a distant ancestor to the community will turn up after Bill S-3 takes effect to claim a portion of scarce resources such as funds for postsecondary education that are now shared among the reserve’s members.
