About Us

This site is dedicated to all the ancestors and the future generations of people who have native ancestry. After thinking long and hard about the culture that I am a member of, I have decided to be a part of the solution to some of the problems our culture is experiencing.

As it turns out I happen to be blessed with years of experience on the internet, designing web sites where my most recent project "(now closed down)" happens to be an internationally based dating site for everyone. As such, an idea came to me through my father who happens to be of European descent. My mother is 100% Ojibway.

This is one idea I couldn't let go of because it had so much merit. It also fit in perfectly with my objective to earn an income by applying my skills doing something positive for the First Nations community. Recently I learned that the population of new Alderville First Nations members is expected to diminish due to the effect of Bill C31. One of the primary reasons behind the diminishing population is the lack of availability of potential mates who are also First Nations members. From that information I knew what I could do to make a difference.

Join today for your future children and your future generations. Join for the cause of First Nations members and for non-status Indians.

This is Much More Then "Just a Native Dating Site"

The issue of finding a status indian mate is a very serious matter in Canada. Under Bill C31 which is a Canadian Government revision to its original obligation, status indians will not continue to pass on status rights to their children unless it's from another status parent. This makes total assimilation inevitable considering that in many bands the mixed marriage rate is as high as 80 to 90 percent. This isn't necessarily always by choice but more often then not occurs due to lack of available mates.

As such under that Bill which has been in effect since 1985 some smaller bands are on the verge of extinction as far as having any status rights go. Will the Bill ever change? I'm not willing to gamble the future rights of my people on winning that legal battle. Let the legal fighters fight the fight. We are simply providing a means to continue passing on status rights to future descendants under the current legislation. Who knows how long the legal battle will take to win?

Bill C31 - The Issue: Summarized

The way it stands now since 1985 the government of Canada enacted Bill C31 which had the effect of redefining "status indians". Part of the Bill goes so far as to designate people as 1/2 status. In my opinion you're either status or you aren't. A true status person has a line of descendancy to the people that the government of Canada entered into an agreement with.
The government of Canada having been the ones entering into a treaty agreement with aboriginal peoples across the country should not be in a position to redefine their obligations. They are taking the position of redefining their obligations by legislating legitimate descendants out of existence.
The treaties were based on a descendancy and not specified to race. The agreements were stated to last forever using such terminology as "as long as the river flows" which translated to forever as far as the aboriginal people were concerned. Therefore in my opinion the government of Canada should not have the right to legislate the true descendants out of existence.
To deny descendancy rights (inherited status rights) on the basis of mixed marriage is arrogant as well as being highly unethical. It's the same as declaring that a recognized descendent of the original treaties doesn't have the same rights any longer unless they marry another person who the government qualifies as being "status indian".
At what point did the government decide to renege on its original obligation by redefining who qualifies as "status."
Until the imposed laws change we are left with no other choice. We must marry other status Indians or face the prospect of a people whose rights have been totally legislated out of existence. We can do this and still continue the fight for the rest of the descendants whose rights have been denied.
