Regimes of truth: set of ideas that dominant groups draw on about particular groups; dominant idea that"s held to be true; doesn"t have ground; dominant group making claims on a non-dominant group. How you go about creating that popular discourse even if it"s not representative of all. The government approach was to get the point of view of the families. The critique for this is there"s already a representation of truth about the community. Based on groups but family isn"t a good category since they have been separated from them. They"re looking at the point of view of families and not of individual women. Legal documentation (rights and expectations) and substantive citizenship (civic, social and political rights). Who gets the rights; who is marginalized; who belongs and who doesn"t belong. Aboriginal women are also citizens by law but aren"t treated that way and are marginalized.
