First Nations Women, Governance and the Indian Act
Author: Judith F. SayersPublisher:
ISBN: 9780662311409
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
The first paper in this compilation is a review of the literature on First Nations women and self-government. It covers the following subject areas: traditional roles of First Nations women, the impact of colonization on those women, male leadership, contemporary First Nations women & sexual equality, and contemporary First Nations women & self-government. It also provides some legislative options, draft policies, recommendations, and general discussion of good governance from a First Nations women's perspective. The second paper addresses two questions: can & should the Indian Act be amended to provide for more equitable governing powers between First Nations women & men, and if amendments are desired, how can new regulations & policy improve the political participation of First Nations women. The questions are approached by investigating the responses of Lake Babine First Nation women to such questions and comparing this information with published analyses of women and First Nations governance. The final paper examines the history & rationale for the section 67 exemption of Indian Act matters from the Canadian Human Rights Act in the context of First Nations women's equality interests in governance. It reviews barriers to full realization of First Nations women's equality rights, particularly issues relating to Indian status & the band membership entitlement system, and decision-making by Indian Act band councils that reflects the arbitrary legal distinctions made in the Act.

Colonial Lives of Property
Author: Brenna BhandarPublisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 082237157X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
In Colonial Lives of Property Brenna Bhandar examines how modern property law contributes to the formation of racial subjects in settler colonies and to the development of racial capitalism. Examining both historical cases and ongoing processes of settler colonialism in Canada, Australia, and Israel and Palestine, Bhandar shows how the colonial appropriation of indigenous lands depends upon ideologies of European racial superiority as well as upon legal narratives that equate civilized life with English concepts of property. In this way, property law legitimates and rationalizes settler colonial practices while it racializes those deemed unfit to own property. The solution to these enduring racial and economic inequities, Bhandar demonstrates, requires developing a new political imaginary of property in which freedom is connected to shared practices of use and community rather than individual possession.
