The impacts of the 1985 amendments to the Indian Act (Bill C-31) : impacts on Indian Bands : individual case study reports (working papers for Module 3) / prepared for Evaluation Directorate, Indian and...: R32-343/1990E-PDF

"In June 1985, Parliament enacted a series of amendments to the Indian Act, contained in what has come to be known as Bill C-31. Bill C-31 required that a follow-up progress report on the implementation of the 1985 amendments be submitted to Parliament in 1987. The report submitted at that time noted that only a small number of individuals had returned to reserves and that it was too early to measure adequately the impacts of Bill C-31. The Minister at the time promised that a detailed study would be undertaken and a new report presented to Parliament in 1990. The second study was subdivided into four research modules. Module 3 identifies the impacts attributable to Bill C-31 at the band and community level. It presents a mix of qualitative and quantitative information on the experiences and perceptions of representatives of 137 bands, 11 tribal councils and 10 off-reserve communities. Ninety-two bands and all the tribal councils were interviewed by a telephone survey. In-depth case studies were conducted at the remaining 45 bands and at the off-reserve communities."--p. 2.
