Canada: AFN says Ottawa using ‘racist and colonial’ policies to restrict services for Indigenous children
Canadian Press – June 17, 2021
The Assembly of First Nations says Canada’s attempt to narrow the list of First Nations children who can access services under Jordan’s Principle is linked to the country’s long-standing “racist and colonial” policies toward Indigenous Peoples. Questions about who is considered a First Nations child – and whether that definition should include children living off-reserve, those who are not registered under the Indian Act and those with just one Indigenous parent – are at the heart of arguments being heard in Federal Court Thursday.
