No need to send in the cavalry with guns blazing. Legislation will do just as nicely.

And right now about 50 percent of status Indians are marrying non-status folk. No one knows for sure how long it will take, but according to John Borrows and Leroy Little Bear, two of Canada’s leading Aboriginal scholars and teachers, if this rate holds steady, in fifty to seventy-five years time there will be no status Indians left in Canada.

Legally, that is.

Keep in mind that identity is more than what people “see” when they look at you. Write a 525- to 700-word reflection, completing the following: Using what you learned in the reading assignments for Weeks 1 and 2, describe what cultural diversity means to you.
