We can not achieve reconciliation without listening to the truth and addressing the barriers to reconciliation in Canada. What is that truth? Colonialism is still ongoing; the Indian Act is still in effect; funding in Native reserves has frozen since 1984; … The Indian Act is the direct violation of human rights. It affects not only Native people but every person living in Canada because the land in Canada is put in trust by the British Crown. The Canadian Government is the acting trustee on behalf of the Crown and Native people are the beneficiary of the trust.
Please sign this petition
“Stand Up for Human Rights, Abolish the Indian Act.”
WHY is this Petition important to Canada?
Canada’s Indian Act needs to be abolished to uphold human rights. The Indian Act dehumanizes Native people in Canada. The Indian Act designates Native people as animals or “wards of the state.”
The Indian Act is racist; the Act’s intention is legislating Indians out of existence, a race-based genocide. The Indian Act authorized and funded Indian residential schools.
The Indian Act requires a blood quantum registry, which is similar to animal pedigree for thoroughbred horses, purebred cattle, dogs, and cats. Human beings do not require blood quantum to identify as human beings. Canada uses an Indian Blood Registry, which is maintained by the Department of Indian Affairs in Gatineau, Quebec.
The Indian Act makes Native people wards of the state and denies their human rights.
We ask you to sign this petition to raise public voices for abolishing Canada’s Indian Act and support Native people’s human rights.

Indian Act of Canada
In Canada, the Indian Act was drafted without Native people’s consent and involvement. The Government of Canada enforced the Indian Act in 1876 by consolidating all acts and policies related to the Native people in Canada. This Act has been enforced to control the Native land that has been used, occupied, and protected by the Native people applying their own law, governance, and protocol as the Creator gave them.
