Fort William: Status and Indian

fort william: We will send you our list of who should be status Indians in our community and you will add them to your registry, according to Globe and Mail. This is our right to self-determination. Fort William will determine who our members are. The Indian Act contains a complicated formula based on the Indian status of the parents to determine who gets status and who does not. As a result, there are many people who were raised at Fort William who do not have status, including the grandchildren of the former chief. For instance, if a status Indian has a child with a non-status Indian, that child will get status, but the child cannot pass status on to their children if their partner is non-status.
