History Biographical: 

John Corbiere was a status First Nation belonging to the Batchewana First Nation. He was among the two thirds of Batchewana Band members who did not live on reserve land and were not permitted to vote in band elections. This restriction was imposed by section 77(1) of the Indian Act,[1] which limited the right to vote to band members who are “ordinarily resident on the reserve.”

In 1992, John Corbière and other off-reserve members of the Batchewana First Nation challenged the Indian Act's rule concerning off-reserve voting rights by arguing that it violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because it discriminated against people living off-reserve. In 1999, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in favour of Corbière, and the Indian Act was amended to allow off-reserve members to vote.
