*Unknown and Unstated Paternity and the Indian Act*

A Section 15 Charter Challenge:
Lynn Gehl Vs Attorney General of Canada

Hearing October 20-22 in Toronto

"As of 1985, a father must sign his baby’s birth certificate for his Indian
status registration to be factored into the child’s eligibility. Otherwise,
through an unstated paternity policy, the Registrar applies a negative
assumption of paternity whereby the child may not be entitled to Indian
status, and consequently band membership and her/his treaty rights. This
assumption of non-Indian paternity is sex discrimination. What is
particularly disturbing about this is the way it targets Indigenous mothers
and children."

*Child Welfare - Human Rights Complaint Hearing*

In 2007, the Caring Society and the Assembly of First Nations filed a human
rights complaint against the Federal government, alleging that Canada’s
failure to provide equitable and culturally based child welfare services to
First Nations children on-reserve amounts to discrimination on the basis of
race and ethnic origin.

The final Closing Arguments are being heard in Ottawa from October 20-24.

You are welcome to attend, or watch on livestream
