Congress of Aboriginals: One of the Main Supports for Non-Status Indians

Hello Reddit! I came on here to discuss an organization called the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP), and their active role in supporting Non-Status Indians.

CAP includes numerous provincial Affiliates meant to support each region. CAP sits on a table with FNMI such as Assembly of First Nations, Métis National Council and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami with the Federal government to make decision pertaining to Indigenous Communities.

CAP was also a main actor of the Daniel’s Decision, finally recognizing Métis and Non-Status Indians. Harry Daniel’s acted as president of CAP for a while, even!

I, personally, am a Member of my Affiliate and have a card with a Membership number. They usually screen people for evidence of Aboriginal Ancestry, first. What do ya’ll think? Please feel free to add any missing information to this discussion. Hîy hîy !
