Thanks a lot Ms. Sue, also if you don't mind, could you also give me another similar site like this, but in powerpoint format, its just so much easier to read.
Sorry, but I couldn't find a powerpoint or youtube format for this question.
I suggest you ask someone to read to you the site I posted.
Okay thanks:)
You're welcome.
The first nations in Canada were granted the right to vote in federal elections in 1960. Prior to that, they were prohibited from voting by the Indian Act of 1876. The significance of this change was that it granted First Nations individuals the same voting rights as Canadian citizens, removing a discriminatory barrier that had been in place for many years.
To find the answer to this question, you could have researched the history of voting rights in Canada or specifically looked into the legal and political developments concerning the voting rights of First Nations individuals. You could also reach out to sources like academic articles, historical documents, or official government websites that discuss the history of indigenous voting rights in Canada.
