In Canada, when an Aboriginal man marries a non-Aboriginal woman, what would be his status?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under Canada's Indian Act, if an Aboriginal man marries a non-Aboriginal woman, he will lose his "Indian status." This means he will no longer be recognized as a member of a First Nation and will not have access to some benefits and programs available to registered First Nations people. This policy is known as the "marrying out" provision and has been criticized for contributing to the marginalization and discrimination of Indigenous people in Canada.
