National Strategy to Raise Awareness on Unknown and Unstated Paternity (NSRAUUP) and the Indian Act:
In September 2010 I launched a no bricks, no motar, no funding National Strategy to Raise Awareness on Unknown and Unstated Paternity (NSRAUUP) and the Indian Act. I am taking a multi-layered approach:
First, for the past 17 years I have partnered with Aboriginal Legal Services of Toronto in a section 15 Chater challenge to the Indian Act on the matter of unknown and unstated paternity.
Second, I opened a group Facebook group that is open to all where people across Canada can meet up with like-minded others and where materials can be accessed.
Third, I research, write, and publish community and academic articles/papers/newsletters on this topic.
Fourth, I compiled a "NSRAUUP and the Indian Act" information kit which consists of electronic files that can found below.
