On June 28, 2005, Aboriginal women protested in front of the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa. They were there to mark the 20th anniversary of the adoption of Bill C-31 to amend the Indian Act. In 1985, after a struggle that lasted over 10 years, they had finally succeeded in having a discriminatory clause regarding the federal government’s recognition of their identity revoked. In practice, however, they soon realized that Bill C-31 had adverse effects on their identity and that of their children.  1, record 1, English, - discriminatory%20clause

Le 28 juin 2005, des femmes autochtones ont manifesté devant le Parlement canadien, à Ottawa. Elles venaient souligner le 20e anniversaire de l’adoption du projet de loi C-31 qui a modifié la Loi sur les Indiens.
