CAP Constituency Table

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following table has been extracted from a paper being developed by CAP entitled "The Creation of CAP's Constituency by Federal Legilsation." The 60 entries in the table represent those populations of CAP constituents who, although they are unquestionably Aboriginal people within the meaning of Section 35 of the Constitution Act 1982, have been deprived of access to rights and/or benefits, which they would naturally enjoy exept that they have been denied or interefered with by Federal legislation -- chiefly the Indian Act.
