The history of the Indian Act is that in 1857 it was the Gradual Civilization Act, and then it was consolidated into what is known as the Indian Act now. The entire foundation of that was to subvert the indigenous population in Canada and integrate them into the Canadian body without that indigenous identity attached to it.
The history of the Indian Act is very much that systemic removal of our identity and our ability to have socio-economic drivers in our own communities and an ability to determine who we are as individual communities, as nations, as people. That's a pretty horrific history, and to think that we still have legislation to that effect on the books.... However, it is also the act that protects the rights of indigenous people in unique ways. It's certainly not something that can be removed wholesale, but there are a number of opportunities to create off-ramps that indigenous nations can opt into instead of the Indian Act, to replace that legislation.
I think that's probably the best opportunity that we have right now to start to address these issues, but potentially finding ways to create credit opportunities with the equity that we have in things like our homes and our land in order to participate in the economy would be, to me, the next stepping point.
