Graphic showing a portrait of Chandra Murdoch, the book cover for Family & Justice in the Archives, and a text with praise for Murdoch's chapter: Murdoch’s innovative research into Department of Indian Affairs records dealing with wills and estates in Ontario demonstrates the paternalism inherent in the Indian Act and Indian status. She shows that women’s groups actively fought against restraints on their inheritances and prioritized an ethic of care over traditional patriarchal inheritance law, making a vital contribution to our understanding of gender, colonialism and the state.
