On this edition of APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens looks at the debate over the second-generation cut-off in the Indian Act.
The Senate's Indigenous Affairs committee is reviewing Bill S-2, proposed legislation from the government that ends some discrimination against women in the Indian Act - but not all.
The committee also wants to add an amendment to end what is called the second-generation cutoff and replace it with a one-parent rule for status entitlement.
Lawyer and professor Pam Palmater joins us to share what's at stake for families like hers and talk about the fact and fiction in the information being shared.
