How to apply for your First Nation Status.
Entitlement to registration under the Indian Act is based on the degree of descent from ancestors who are registered or entitled to be registered.
To find out if you're entitled to be registered, ask yourself:
- Are either or both of my parents registered or entitled to be registered?
- Are any of my grandparents registered or entitled to be registered?
- Is anyone in my immediate or extended family registered or entitled to be registered?
You may be entitled to be registered if:
- at least one of your parents is registered or entitled to be registered under subsection 6(1) of the Indian Act
or
- both of your parents are registered or entitled to be registered under subsection 6(1) or 6(2) of the Indian Act
