Description

This is a collection of eight Supreme Court decisions concerning aboriginal rights. The cases, which span from 1888 to 1990, demonstrate the development of the legal value of aboriginal rights in Canada and help readers understand how recent court decisions were influenced by those in thepast. The book's introduction examines aboriginal rights scholarship in conjunction with recent critical legal and social theory.
