“The Indian Act was imposed in 1876 as a means to administer land reserved for Indians as set out in treaties. It made Indians ‘wards of the state’ and essentially removed the ability to create capital on-reserve. While ‘protecting’ the remaining tribal lands from encroachment by in-coming settlers, it also took reserve lands out of the market and replaced whatever economy existed before with a system of wardship that has, over the years, lead to what many consider an unhealthy degree of dependency on the federal state.” Dr Timothy Raybould, 2006 fngovernance.org/ncfng_research/tim_raybould.pdf
