Book Review Power Without Law: The Supreme CourtofCanada,the MarshallDecisions, and the Failure of Judicial Activism by Alex M. Cameron. Montreal & Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2009. 244 pages. Alex Cameron's book, Power Without Law, is a scathing critique of the Supreme Court of Canada's 1999 decisions in R. v. Marshall' upholding Donald Marshall Jr.'s Mi'kmaq treaty claim. Cameron's book has attracted a lot of attention because of the author's position as Crown counsel for the government of Nova Scotia. 2 Cameron was not involved as a lawyer in the Marshall case itself. As a fisheries prosecution, Marshall was a matter of federal jurisdiction pursuant to s. 91(12) of the Constitution Act, 1867,1 and Nova Scotia chose not to intervene.

It deconstructs representations of the Numbered Treaties as “land transactions” and challenges the associated forms of oppression that emerge from this interpretation. Drawing on oral histories of the Numbered Treaties, it argues instead that they established a framework for relationship that expressly affirmed the continuity of Indigenous legal and political orders. Further, this dissertation positions treaties as a longstanding Indigenous political institution, arguing for the resurgence of a treaty-based ethic of relationality that has multiple applications in the contemporary context.

  • Kinamaadiwin Inaakonigewin: a Path to Reconciliation and Anishinaabe Cultural Resurgence
    Kinamaadiwin Inaakonigewin: A Path to Reconciliation and Anishinaabe Cultural Resurgence by Leo Baskatawang A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2021p. by Leo Baskatawang Abstract: The processes of colonization, which are maintained and enforced in a settler-colonial state through ideological apparatuses such as the justice system, health care, social services, and education have been exceedingly detrimental to Indigenous knowledges and ways of life. These apparatuses are primarily constructed to establish or maintain an ideological order such as capitalism, but also to identify and punish deviant or different ideologies, for instance Indigenous relationality. In the context of education and law, my dissertation will show how Indigenous oral traditions and spirituality have historically been attacked as being primitive and uncivilized, which laid a foundation to implement policies such as the Residential School System, as well as to write laws that are designed to erase Indigenous identity and rights, ie. the Indian Act. Despite the attack on Indigenous oral traditions and spirituality, however, traditional forms of Indigenous law and principles of education have survived. This is partly due to the advancement of ‘Aboriginal’ and treaty rights’ in Canada over the past forty years. The evolution of ‘Aboriginal and treaty rights’ is best observed in the context of Canadian case law and ‘Indian’ policy and resistance. In the latest development of this evolutionary process, the Canadian state has committed itself to a policy of reconciliation with Indigenous nations and peoples.

A Corner Turned: Supreme Court of Canada Decisions of the Year Past Charlotte A. Bell, Q.C.∗ I. INTRODUCTION This year, the Supreme Court of Canada handed down two significant decisions, R. v. Marshall; R. v. Bernard 1 (and its Nova Scotia counterpart, R. v. Stephen Marshall),2 and Mikisew Cree First Nation v. Canada (Minister of Canadian Heritage).3 Superficially read, these cases seem to represent a complete turnabout — in one case the Court adopts a very restrictive posture towards the protection of Aboriginal rights, and in the next, seems to adopt the opposite. Upon a more thoughtful read, when taken together, the cases suggest a more cohesive approach, and indicate where the Supreme Court is heading in the area of assertion and protection of Aboriginal rights.

  • "I Smooth'd Him up with Fair Words": Lntersocietal Law, from Fur Trade to Treaty
    "I smooth'd him up with fair words": lntersocietal Law, from Fur Trade to Treaty Janna Promislow A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN LAW OSGOODE HALL LAW SCHOOL, YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO December 2012 ©Janna Promislow, 2012 Abstract History is an essential part of aboriginal law. The two disciplines, however, may produce incompatible narratives of indigenous-settler relations. In addition, indigenous legal traditions and the fur trade in the old North West have been under-represented in Canadian legal history, a gap that demotes over two centuries of working relationships to a brief preface to the numbered treaties and confederation. This dissertation seeks to bring under-observed normative relations between indigenous and European traders into Canadian legal history. It further considers the relevance of fur trade law to the jurisprudence on aboriginal treaty rights and the significance of history in overcoming historical injustice in settler states. Using an ethnohistorical methodology, three case studies are presented on the law of the fur trade followed by a chapter connecting the interpretation of the intersocietal law of the fur trade to the interpretation of treaties in history and law. Focussing the fur trade as conducted by the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company, the case studies investigate the normative expectations of the indigenous and company traders around particular aspects of the trading relationship. These aspects include institutions of leadership, the formation and maintenance of friendships, negotiations of trading post location, and the exchange of provisions and support in times of famine and illness.
