The Indian Act - Then and Now - a workshop
Saturday May 4, 10am to 4pm at Tatamagouche Centre
In 1876, the Government of Canada established the Indian Act. In
2002, the Canadian Government is changing the Indian Act, in a
poorly-publicized process, with inadequate involvement of concerned
Canadians and First Nations people. This workshop will provide a history
lesson on the Indian Act, as well as insight into current issues and
implications of the current federal government process. Education toward
relationship-building and action will be the focus.
Resource People:
Paul J. Prosper is a lawyer, and is the Negotiations Coordinator for the
Mik-maq Confederacy of Prince Edward Island.
Joe B. Marshall is a tenured Associate Professor in Mi'kmaq Studies at
University College of Cape Breton, the Executive Director for the Union
of Nova Scotia Indians, a graduate of Dal Law School and one of the
Founders of the UNSI (1969).
Cost: $40 (includes snacks, meal, tuition and handouts)
