The Indian Act in Canada has not been abolished and remains in force with amendments. It was originally passed in 1876, revised significantly in 1951, and further amended in 1985 and after. Although there have been proposals, such as the 1969 White Paper aiming to abolish the Indian Act, these were met with strong opposition from Indigenous peoples and were eventually abandoned. The act continues to govern matters related to Indian status, bands, and reserves in Canada as of the latest information available in 2025. Therefore, the Indian Act is still applicable and has not been abolished in any year.
