	Indian Act (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Indian Act, is the principal federal statute dealing with INDIAN status, local government and the management of reserve land and communal monies.
		The concept of Indian status was originally developed to determine entitlement to live in Indian reserve communities, but this changed after 1985 amendments to the Act which now treat Indian status, band membership and residency as separate issues (see NATIVE PEOPLE, LAW).
		The effect of this amendment was to increase substantially the number of status Indians in Canada, placing pressure on band budgets and their limited land resources.

		Indians in western Canada were not allowed to vote, however, because, in the words of the minister of Indian affairs of the day, David Mills, that would have allowed them to go "from a scalping party to the polls".
		Thus, in 1917 Indians on active military service were permitted to vote in federal elections, and in 1920 the federal vote was restored to two classes of Indians: those who lived off-reserve; and those (on- or off-reserve) who had served in the Canadian army, navy or air force in the First World War.
		For the grandchildren of the present generation of 6(1) and 6(2) Indians, the manner in which their parents and grandparents acquired status is an important determinant of whether the grandchildren have Indian status themselves.

	Indian Reservations
		Indians were considered wards of the federal government, and the job of the Indian Agents who managed the reservations for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) was to protect and provide for Indians only until they could be successfully assimilated into American society.

		Indian judges courageous enough to rule against a tribal chairman or council are usually summarily fired, as are editors of tribally-owned newspapers who dare to speak out against a particular action or policy.

	Glossary
		Non-status Indians are people who consider themselves Indians or members of a First Nation, but aren't recognized as Indians by the federal government under the Indian Act because they can't prove their status or have lost their status rights.
		Status Indians are people who are entitled to have their names on the Indian Register, which is an official list maintained by the federal government.
		The Indian Act defines an Indian as "a person who, pursuant to this Act, is registered as an Indian or is entitled to be registered as an Indian." Status Indians are entitled to certain rights and benefits under the law.

	Corporations and the Status Indian : Thunderbay IMC
		Status Indians hold tightly to their ‘special' status, which enables them to escape taxes and entitles them to a free education, but little do most of them realize that should they take control of these aspects of their lives, they may become successful on their own terms.
		Indians hold a 25% advantage over the rest of the population in Canada, for they are exempt from the 15% PST and GST sales taxes, as well as their 10% ‘specialty' rights.

	98-2040 -- U.S. v. Prentiss -- 12/06/2001
		On rehearing en banc, a majority of this court agreed with the panel's conclusion that the status of the victim and that of the defendant are essential elements of the crime of arson in Indian country under 18 U.S.C. §§ 81 and 1152.
		Federal regulation of Indian tribes, therefore, is governance of once-sovereign political communities; it is not to be viewed as legislation of a racial group consisting of Indians.
		Prentiss is a non-Indian and that, as a result of the victims' Indian status, federal jurisdiction is established by § 1152 because the crime was interracial.

		Presidential power over the Indian tribes is centered on the ability to enter into treaties, a power that was used in the early years of federal Indian law to secure tribal acquiescence to the demands of the encroaching waves of European settlers.
		Indian nations are not "foreign," but rather exist within the geographical boundaries of the United States, which necessarily limits their sovereignty.
		It went on to say that the status of the Indians who entered into the treaty and their relationship of dependency to the United States were such that Congress had a plenary power over the government's relations with the tribes.

		Indian leadership needs to understand that when they stand as Indians for Indian rights they are in direct conflict with U.S. aspirations, and that an Indian allegiance to the United States is secondary to their allegiance to their own nations because the former by nature seeks to eliminate the latter.
