The Saddle Lake Cree Nation has regulations that prevent descendants of Indigenous women who have married non-status men from voting in its elections
A woman from Saddle Lake Cree Nation is in Federal Court in Edmonton today fighting for her right to vote in band elections.
The Indigenous community about 170 kilometres northeast of Edmonton has regulations that prevent descendants of Indigenous women who have married non-status men from voting in its elections.Last week, the Federal Court ordered Whitefish Lake First Nation in northwestern Alberta to change its election regulations after two women argued that they were being discriminated against for similar reasons.
Orlagh O’Kelly, a lawyer representing Collins, is hopeful that last week’s decision will have a positive impact on her client’s case. O’Kelly says people who are prevented from voting can face socio-economic disadvantages and a loss of culture.
