Unjust Relations: Aboriginal Rights in Canadian Courts

by Peter Kulchyski (Editor)

This is a fascinating collection of eight Canadian Supreme Court decisions concerning aboriginal rights. The judgements in each case are presented in their original form and include dissenting opinions. The cases, which span from 1888 to 1990, demonstrate the development of the legal value of
aboriginal rights in Canada and shed new light on how recent court decisions were influenced by those in the past.
