Canada considers abolishing the 'Indian Act', a relic of colonization

During a national summit on Indigenous peoples, Manitoba's Premier Wab Kinew highlighted the outdated ethnic identification system in Canada by displaying his Indian status card. He called for the abolition of the Indian Act, which he views as a remnant of racism. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed openness to repealing this legislation, labeling it as an anachronism. However, the challenge remains on how to replace it, a topic that has sparked division among Indigenous communities.
