L'émancipation était la perte volontaire ou involontaire du statut d'Indien. [...] Les principaux avantages, à l'origine, étaient la pleine citoyenneté canadienne et le droit de propriété d'une parcelle de terre de la réserve; par la suite, s'est ajouté le paiement d'une somme forfaitaire représentant la part de l'émancipé sur les fonds et les annuités de la bande. La clause d'émancipation a été supprimée de la Loi sur les Indiens en 1985. 1, record 2, French, - %C3%A9mancipation
