Why We Must End Colonialism: Tinkering with the Indian Act is Not Enough.

The article presents a reprint of Patricia Monture's article on the Indian and Northern Affairs of Canada's initiative to reform the Indian Act (IA) in 2001, which was published in the summer 2002 issue of the magazine. Topics mentioned include the First Nations governance, the areas of focus of the consultation process for the initiative including accountability and elections, and the consequences of the disenfranchising qualities of the IA for Aboriginal women.
