Title:	"Indian": from legal terminology and constitutional responsibility to identity formation
Description:	The President's Office, Department of Indigenous Studies, and the MDP Program invite you to guest lecture by Aimée Craft from the Public Interest Law Centre. Powers to legislate are divided amongst the Federal and Provincial governments in Canada's Constitution Act of 1867. A century and a half after, the division of powers were agreed upon, and we are now shaping understandings as to who are "Indians" for the purposes of section 91(24) - giving the Federal Government responsibility for "Indians and Lands Reserved for Indians". Please join Aimée Craft, for a discussion on the recent Daniels v. Canada decision which confirms that Metis and non-status Indians are contained in the elusive legal category of "Indians". What does this mean practically, in law, and for indigenous identity?
