Enfranchisement of Women

Beginning with the Gradual Enfranchisement Act, and replicated in the Indian Act of 1876, Indian women who married non-treaty Indian men, white men, or Metis were considered "enfranchised", and could, upon their request and approval by their First Nation, be provided with a one-time payment of ten years’ worth of annuities, referred to as commutation.
During the late 1800s there were hundreds of enfranchisements, but this number increased exponentially after 1920 when the power to refuse commutation was removed from First Nations and the government took it upon themselves to actively remove women from tribal annuity rolls, and ultimately reduce the annual treaty expenditures owed to First Nations women.
A listing of women removed from their Indian rights is provided below:
