The following is an assessment of the Millbrook First Nation Band Custom Election Code which is being proposed to replace the current election system which is determined by sections 74(1)-80 of the Indian Act and the government of Canada’s Indian Band Election Regulations. As the guiding principles of the proposed Election Code make clear, this is an election code which operates in accordance with the Indian Act. It is thus by definition, not a process which is “consistent with our [Mi’kmaq] unique customs, practices and traditions.”
