About this title

Synopsis

This book, the first to be written about the Lake Babine Nation in north-central British Columbia, examines its traditional legal order, self-identity, and their involvement in current treaty negotiations.Changing relations between the First Nations and the Canadian state have led to a new awareness of customary legal orders. These orders can help the state accommodate diverse approaches to judicial fairness and social justice, and offer a way for Aboriginal nations to maintain their identity and moral order.
