A recent Supreme Court of Canada decision has raised a lot of questions for people in Nova Scotia.
The Daniels decision upheld that non-status and Metis people are “Indians” under the constitution.
But what does that mean?
And who does it apply to?
That’s what Indigenous people on the East Coast are still trying to figure out.
I believe in the one drop theory especially for those of us who were born off the Rez or Indian Housing, but was drilled into our brains NEVER forget that we are Native . To deny or play down our heritage, is to deny my ABORIGINAL ANCESTORS ever were alive and their lives never matted to White or Native.
