Canada's Indian Act is infamously sexist. Many iterations of the
legislation conferred a woman's status rights through marriage, and
even once it was amended First Nations women could not necessarily
pass their status on to their descendants. What has that injustice
meant for First Nations men? Martin J. Cannon challenges a
decades-long assumption that the act has affected Indigenous people
as either "women" or "Indians" - but not both. He argues that
sexism and racialization within the law must instead be understood
as interlocking forms of discrimination that disrupt gender
complementarity and undercut the identities of Indigenous men
through their female forebears.
