Abstract

If you are reading this article, chances are that you have heard rumblings in the news, at work, or even in the community about recent changes to the Canadian Human Rights Act that are going to impact First Nations communities. These rumblings or "buzz" have to do with the fact that on June 19, 2011, the law that repealed Section 67 of the Canadian Human Rights Act comes into full effect for First Nations communities.
