Abstract

"Canada's Aboriginal peoples face many challenges - some legal, others rooted in traditional Aboriginal culture - as they advance their claims through negotiation or the courts. A looming question for Aboriginal groups seeking justice for their claims is how best to address these challenges in light of recent decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada involving Aboriginal issues. Can Canadian law and courts provide real justice for Aboriginal peoples? How can Aboriginal communities take advantage of the 1982 constitutional changes that offer protection to treaty and Aboriginal rights without compromising the texture of the relationships and responsibilities that constitute and give purpose to their ways of life? "- Voila
