3) Your Request For Help - by Lynn Gehl
"Many people contact me asking for help regarding their Indian status registration process. I cannot do this. ... I can however provide some insight. As many know in 2018 the Indian Act underwent changes due to both the Descheneaux/Yantha/Yantha court decision and the Gehl court decision."
