Description
Canada's Indigenous Constitution explores the nature and sources of law in Canada, arguing that the country's constitution is incomplete without a broader acceptance of Indigenous legal traditions. John Borrows examines the role of governments and courts, as well as the prospect of a multi-juridical legal culture, with a view to understanding and improving legal processes in Canada. Borrows discusses the place of individuals, families, and communities in recovering and extending the role of Indigenous law within both Indigenous communities and Canadian society more broadly. This work by a leading Canadian legal scholar offers valuable insights into the complex relationships between law, government, and Indigenous communities. Drawing Out Law: A Spirit's Guide is an essential companion to this major work, providing further exploration of the intersections between law, culture, and identity.
