Mark of Honour: a Study Brief

University and academic · English

Discussion responses; the 1,500-word assignment is submitted as your instructor directs.

1. Why might the Crown have chosen descent “by either sex” in 1789, when land and titles usually passed through men?

2. How did Indian Act status treat women who married out, and what did Bill C-31 change?

3. Is the mark the Crown’s, or the societies’? What would decide it?

4. How do the clan and the mark sit together in one family?

5. What would follow if the mark were recognised as the class’s legal line today?

6. Apply. A woman lost status in 1960 and regained it in 1985. Trace what happened to her mark through the same years.
