McIvor, S.D. (1995). Aboriginal women’s rights as “existing rights”.
Canadian Woman Studies/Les Cahiers de la Femme 2/3, 34-38.
This article discusses recent constitutional legislation as it affects the
human rights of aboriginal women in Canada: the Constitution Act
(1982), its amendment in 1983, and amendments to the Indian Act
(1985).This legislation reverses prior laws that denied Indian status
to aboriginal women who married non-aboriginal men. McIvor argues
that the Act recognizes fundamental human rights & existing
aboriginal rights, granting to aboriginal women full participation in the
aboriginal right to self-government.
