It is puzzling to me that it is acceptable for  people who are French or any other race to have their bloodlines diluted but it is not acceptable for FN people to have their bloodlines diluted. For 150 years non Indigenous people have been trying to segregate or get rid of the Indigenous population. (The Indian problem!) The Indian Act was designed to do this. Guess what! The Indigenous population is growing , standing firm , voices are becoming stronger and being heard.  Indigenous  voices are not all the same, they are not one homogeneous group of people.
