Abstract
This thesis considers the application of a
differentiated citizenship to status Indians in Canada.
The topic is studied both normatively and empirically. The
thesis reviews how the concept of citizenship has evolved
through the thought of modern liberal theorists, such as
T.H. Marshall, Will Kymlicka and Charles Taylor. Some
recent work concerning citizenship in Canada recommends
that the state ought to extend differentiated citizenship
rights to certain groups, such as status Indians in Canada.
This thesis argues that the Canadian state is already
extending differentiated citizenship rights to status
Indians. It examines some of the components of this
differentiated citizenship regime, such as Aboriginal and
Treaty rights.
