Hi JP and Nate


I have made some substantive changes here you will want to check.
1.'''Language''': I use Aboriginal (capitalized)to include "Indians," Inuit and Metis - but use First Nations rather than "Indians."  I refer to heritage rather than "roots." I do not use "native."


1. '''In the introduction''', I just refer to the Indian Act, rather than talking about the federal government's exclusive jurisdiction over Indians and land reserved for Indians . . .  Where the text recommends that readers get the "advice of a family law lawyer''', I added "who has expertise in Aboriginal law." See what you think.
2. In '''Resources and links''' I removed Native Community Law Offices (gone, alas, and grievously missed) and put in the current LSS services. I took out the Native Friendship Centre suggestion because Clicklaw seems to offer only one that I can see - in Quesnel. (I would have thought folks would go to the Friendship Centre - am I missing something here?)


2. '''In the information about paying child support''', I changed the first couple of sentences to make it more simple. (I also put in some para breaks.)
BTW they go to the Courtworkers, who aren't funded to do family . . .


3. '''Language''': I use Aboriginal (capitalized) in the standard way (to include "Indians," Inuit and Metis) - but use First Nations rather than "Indians."  I refer to heritage rather than "roots." I do not use "native."
Suggestions?


4. In '''Resources and links''' I removed Native Community Law Offices (gone, alas, alas, and grievously missed) and put in the current LSS services. I took out the Native Friendship Centre suggestion because Clicklaw seems to offer only one I can see - in Quesnel.
