Six Nations resist, citing a Washington era treaty that guarantees annual cloth payments, now worth little. Bills will be debated by the Joint Committee on Indian Affairs amid political wrangling. A shift toward granting full citizenship to long-established Indigenous peoples begins, reducing ward status.
