For many generations, my family (and many First Nation families alike) have been all too familiar with the reality and implications of a Police State under the Indian Act enacted by the Parliament of Canada in 1876...Ironically prefaced as "An Act Respecting Indians", this legislation...was thrown upon us with zero consultation or involvement in the process and continues to manipulate, command, restrict and regulate our lives, families, and communities from the moment we are born until after we pass.
