Document Summary

Aboriginal women and men have made substantial gains in education, employment and income. Higher levels of education, full-time employment and earned income allowed some indian, metis and inuit men and women to close the gaps between themselves and their non-aboriginal counterparts. Stratification based on race, ethnicity and gender shapes aboriginal/non- Colonialism which imposed the gender inequalities embedded in british culture transformed the lives of indigenous peoples throughout what is now canada. The indian act: reinforced male dominance among status, thereby subjecting indian women to tripe or multiple jeopardy: to this day, they are disadvantaged first as: Aboriginal peoples remain at the bottom of the hierarchy in terms of education, employment, income, health and imprisonment. Indian, metis and inuit trail far behind non-aboriginals in terms of educational certification. The indian act reinforced male dominance by allowing only men to vote for chiefs and band councilors and by banning women from elected office.
