Bill C-31. Identity and gender: Ain't I an Indian?

Summary

Abstract	Abstract This qualitative-experiential research explores the influence of Bill C-31 on individual concepts of identity and gender. It includes interviews with 11 individuals who acquired Indian status through the 1985 Bill C-31, Amendments to the Indian Act. In particular, I examine the application process and raise questions regarding gendered experiences. The overall objective of this research is to humanize the issue of Bill C-31 and to capture some of the day to day struggles of living under the influence of the Indian Act. --P.ii.
