Unjust Relations: Aboriginal Rights in Canadian Courts

By: Canada

Beginning with the St. Catherine's Milling case in 1888 and reaching back to the 1760s and forward into the 1990s, Unjust Relations: Aboriginal Rights in Canadian Courts presents eight supreme Court decisions concerning Aboriginal rights. Each judgment in preceded by a brief introduction and presented virtually in original form, including dissenting opinions. Together they provide an overview of how Aboriginal rights have been framed, understood and, often, ignored in the legal forum. Yet justices remind us that 'the honour of the Crown is at stake in dealings with aboriginal peoples'.
