Reflection on Indian Act

The article indicates that how the India Act influenced aboriginal people’s life century before.

To control the cultural and quantitative power of first nations people, Canada government set up this Indian Act. With some impenetrable rules such as earning a university degree would automatically lose their Indian status, the harsher the rule is, the weaker inner confidence the government holds. Only when it faces the situation that threatens itself, would it makes the unyielding violent act to the aboriginal people. While, as far as I concern, to strengthen a country’s unification and solidarity, the government shouldn’t just implement compulsory law which restrict the right of its people, but to develop its economy and science well enough to convince and guard its people. If a state is really safe and attractive to live in, people would never reject to work well and live well in this place. So as the specific company. If the company itself is enough overwhelming, it would never have to afraid of the losing of customers or threat of rivals.

Back to the Indian Act, it is not without its feasibility. Since there is always some people who have a high ambition and never satisfy with what they have owned. They want more so what they tend to do might threaten country’s stability, let alone the aboriginal. So Indian Act can exactly limit these people’s ambition and guarantee the safety and equity of the rest of people.
