My mother is a 6(2) status and my father is non-native. I have been raised on the reserve every summer of my life and my Grandmother has instilled Anishnabe in me. There are several others who live in the city and live the average Canadian way and are entitled to status. Some of them having no desire or knowledge of an inch of Native land and culture. If my mother passes, I will lose my right to enjoy future summers on the reserve that I've been raised to love and show my children what my Grandmother has shown me.

My son, age 32 is a 6(1)(a) like I am, but his sister, born May 14, 1985 is considered a 6(2). The mom is a non-aboriginal. Today, my son and I have no status, but my daughter is till an Indian classified under 6(2). Equality?? What equality?? When we allow others to decide for us who is, in my case, a Dene or Indian, we will lose again. The government does not look at us as people, but only numbers. If they allow us to decide who is an Indian, we will have too many Indians, and they don't want us to be too many as there is strength in numbers. Also, their budget would sky rocket, and definitely they don't want that.

I feel that it just reverts back on the Government to get ride of Indians as history shows. I may be alone in my opinion however I have always been a person who has not confromed nor given in to get somthing back in return.

I was told the other day that Sharon would be appealing the decision and I guess I am confused. I have gathered that she is going for the entire section 6 which I totally support. My dad wished that he could see his kids gain status but he died in July but I know he is watching and waiting for justice to be done. Nice work Sharon.

Congratulations to all the women behind the scenes who have supported the "Right thing to do, in face of adversity". The work Sharon Mc Ivor has labored over for over twenty years will make a future for all of our children and it will preserve the cultural identity for our children with equality for all First Nations. Please see the tax briefs on First Nations for more equality.....in the future. In gratitude!

I have my Metis status and my ex-husband re-gained his status with bill C31. What I could never understand is how my children did not qualify, where their cousins who could have less native blood did. I am just hoping that our government will realize once and for all that they must stop this discrimination. Thanks again.

These families are still native with no rights in Canada they are forgotten by First Nations and are not considered Metis so what are they? Non-status with no help or hope for there future.

Thank you so much for your comments. I will pass them on to Sharon McIvor. What happened to you was so wrong. This is why Sharon McIvor's tireless work has been so amazing, because what she's been fighting has affected so many Aboriginal Canadians' lives. Thank you for sharing your stories with us.

Now perhaps my dearest little Grandson can become a status since his application was declined and reason being that because I married a non-native only my immediate children can have status. My two boys were given a 6(2) status thus eliminating my Grandson's status. But my daughter married a non native and her four children were given status without a blink. Now I was not married to her biological father but married to my two boys father. Now do you call that discrimination? At first we thought there was an error in the boys being put down as in accordance with paragraph 6(2)'s but they (The Government Office in Ottawa) said that it was because I married their non native father. I did not marry my daughters non native father and she had no problem getting status for her four children who also have a white father. It just does not seem fair. Both my parents are full blooded natives. They were married and I do not have any white blood.

You truly are an inspiration for all Aboriginals. The fight you've fought over the years, this is your validation and mine (others). I've kept appraised of your fight since near the beginning and completely understand your feelings regarding acceptance. I am a product of C-31 and refused to have a number system tell me I was not an Indian. Since 1987 when I first applied and was told I was not a status Indian, I felt as if I was not an Indian, but was called one by others. I could go on and on but you and your family know and probably share these same feelings. April 7th, 2009 will be a date I will not soon forget. I can only hope and pray that sixty days come and go without any dispute from the great minds sitting in Govrenment. Thank you for not quitting, thank you for setteling when you could have setteled, thank you for making a terrible wrong (INAC Discrimination), RIGHT!!. But most of all, I want to say thank you for validating who I am, my children and the products(people)of bill C-31, giving us identity and being proud to called First Nations(Anishinabek) people.
