Document Summary
On one face, the rule of law represents a crucial means whereby the dominant rules and values in a society are applied and enforced. On the other, law represents a place where those rules and values are challenged and new ways of understanding may emerge. Such is the case of aboriginal law: according to the legal historical record, that since confederation. Canadian law has showed means whereby the culture has derived from colonists and religious values that were imposed on religious people: there have also been moments when these institution have been challenged by other people. It"s taken a lot of work, mobilization, and conversation. We can say that there is more resolve to facilitate this legal resolution than before: idle no more movement: this involves issues like treaty claims, bill c- 45 (natives are concerned that rights will be vanquished for the natives) It"s an ongoing movement for indigenous rights, sovereignty, etc.
