The Act to Encourage the Gradual Civilization of Indian Tribes in this Province, and to Amend the Laws Relating to Indians (commonly known as the Gradual Civilization Act) was a bill passed by the 5th Parliament of the Province of Canada in 1857. The Act established a voluntary process through which any recognized male Indian (indigenous person) could apply to become "enfranchised", wherein they would lose their legal ‘Indian status’ and become a regular British subject. Applications were open to those fluent in English or French, with approval subject to assessment by a committee of non-Indigenous reviewers. Enfranchised Indians would be granted an allotment of land and the ability to vote.

rdfs:comment	L'Acte pour encourager la civilisation graduelle est une loi adoptée en 1857 à l'époque coloniale sous le régime de l'Acte d'Union qui vise à favoriser l'assimilation culturelle des peuples autochtones au sein de la majorité. Bien que cette loi n'est plus en vigueur en droit canadien, il s'agit de l'ancêtre législatif de la Loi sur les Indiens, laquelle a toujours force de loi.
