Under "Indian Act and Bill C-31" is the sentence "Those people accepted into band membership under band rules may not be status Indians."
Is that meant to mean "Those people accepted into band membership under band rules are not allowed to be status Indians." or "Those people accepted into band membership under band rules might not be status Indians." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.126.211.143 ( talk • contribs) 21:51, 22 January 2016
It could be beneficial to include a page on contemporary Indigenous art to differentiate between ancient Indigenous art forms and modern practices. This may also highlight the ways in which ancient art forms are being used by Indigenous artists to reclaim endangered techniques in light of Canadian residential schools, as well as artistic responses to these findings.

As of 1 December 2022, there are 305,746 uses of {{ Portal}}, of which 261 have no border. What is the reasoning behind having <0.1% of the portal boxes be visually inconsistent with the other 99.9%? Why should the portal box on this article have no border? — hike395 ( talk) 09:35, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

, I have not yet seen any reason for borderless boxes. If there were some reason to keep one for an individual article, I certainly would retain it.The idea that there are only three indigenous peoples in Canada is a strange Canadianism. Every distinct indigenous people is an indigenous people in international law. Metis is also used in at least two different senses: some Metis believe it should only apply to red river metis, and some use the term in a sort of quaint 19th centutry scientific racism sense of people with "mixed breeding" or "mixed culture," as though that did not also apply to "Indian" peoples who use gasoline engines.
Inuit is perhaps an authentic autonym, but Metis and Indian are broad terms that will encompass many indigenous peoples. I don't know how this is reflected in primary sources, but Canada often does this in all sorts of legislation, where international norms are flat-out ignored, or half-implemented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:7D68:4700:C40F:10CE:DC38:D800 ( talk) 19:21, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
