First Nations in Canada were prohibited from drinking alcohol through the Indian Act of 1876, which imposed strict regulations on Indigenous peoples. This ban was in place until 1951, when amendments to the Act removed the prohibition, allowing First Nations to legally consume alcohol. However, many communities still faced restrictions based on local bylaws or individual tribal decisions. The historical context of these laws reflects broader patterns of colonial control and discrimination.
