Advancing Aboriginal claims : visions, strategies, directions

Wilkins, Kerry, 1946- (Added Author). University of Alberta. Centre for Constitutional Studies. (Added Author).

Summary: Can Aboriginal values be reconciled with Canadian jurisprudence, and what is the role of Aboriginal jurisprudences in the development of treaty and Aboriginal rights? The combination of policy, philosophy, strategy, and legal arguments are valuable as a resource for thoughtful discussion and action on the future of Aboriginal claims. With the perspective of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal social scientists and legal scholars, some authors provide clear, innovative strategy and legal arguments for use in advancing Aboriginal claims, while others ask us to question how best to ensure all interests are well represented in so doing.
