Yet the Serbs were wrong for doing the same thing.
So if he marries a black girl or a latina he gets to stay?

I'm guessing he already has a European girl in mind.
Come to think of it this band is nothing but a Gov't funded group of racists something that would be illegal and shit on immediately if it was anyone but these extremely special people.
Maybe groups like the Klan should be applying for Gov't funds since there doesn't seem to be a standard when it comes to giving money to blatant racists.
This doesn't solve much, since the non-abo partners would not be on the band list. Ie the band may not be able to remove status for aboriginals, but their non-abo partners can't be made band members by the govt, afaik.
You're right but I don't think that's the issue here. Nobody expects non natives married to natives to be given status but by the same token nobody expects in Canada to be denied the right to live with your spouse on their reserve because he or she is not a Mohawk.

Well the question still is if they can kick out the non-abo partner, and I'm not at all sure the govt has anything to say there.
Could end up a total abortion...

Once again a document drafted by lawyers for lawyers has led to a major fuck up with regards to personal rights and the Charter.
The question of how the Charter applies to Aboriginals and Aboriginal government has involved section 25. On the one hand, it has been argued that Aboriginal governments are not bound by the Charter. If section 35 includes a right to self-government, and section 25 ensures Aboriginal rights are not limited by the Charter, then section 25 would also guarantee that self-government is not limited by the Charter. On the other hand, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples once argued that while section 25 guarantees the existence of self-government itself, the powers of such Aboriginal governments will be limited to respect the Charter rights of individual Aboriginals.

With mentally deficient laws like these why am I not surprised that the Natives are doing whatever the fuck they want, with impunity.
