Here’s is the exact wording in the Settlement Agreement describing the group of people who are Eligible Class Members in this specific Class Action (you can find that document here). “The settlement includes people who:
- are registered Indians (as defined in the Indian Act) and Inuit as well as people eligible to be registered Indians; and
- were removed from their homes in Canada between January 1, 1951 and December 31, 1991 and placed in the care of non-Indigenous foster or adoptive parents”
