Gilbert, Larry
Description
"Written for lawyers, bands and Aboriginal peoples, this book focuses on one of the key concepts in Aboriginal law: the issue of entitlement - who is entitled to be granted Aboriginal status and registered under the Indian Act as an 'Indian.' The implications and ramifications of registration under the Indian Act, as well as the issue of band membership, are explored in this one-of-a-kind work."
