Description
Aboriginal Policy Research: Moving Forward, Making a Difference, volume 5 is a collection of papers about Aboriginal Peoples presented at the second Aboriginal Research Policy Conference held in Ottawa in 2006. Co-chaired by Dan Beavon of INAC, Jerry White of University of Western Ontario, and Peter Dinsdale of the National Association of Friendship Centres, the conference examined history, demography, community impacts, and legal issues and the future direction. This final volume from the 2006 Conference includes papers dealing with the history and impact of Bill C-31, a case study of these Indian Act changes for the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, Indian registration and population change in First Nations communities, and issues of status, membership, paternity, and federal law as these regulate First Nations communities.
