The Indian Act is not the only legislation
specific to
aboriginal people — the First Nations Land Management Act (SC 1999) provides a framework for First Nations to develop regimes for resource development, succession, and other important
issues; the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (SC 2005) prescribes certain reporting requirements with respect to real property taxation; and the recently passed Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act (SC 2013) seeks to provide protections to parties living on reserves in the context of family breakdown.
