Beschreibung:

The Gradual Civilization Act required male Status Indians and Métis over the age of 21 to read, write and speak either English or French,
and to choose a government-approved surname. The Act awarded 50 acres of land to any “sufficiently advanced” Indigenous male, and in return removed any tribal affiliation or treaty rights.
