Beskrivning

In the early 1970s, many questioned whether Aboriginal title existed in Canada and rejected the notion that Aboriginal peoples should have rights different from those of other citizens. But in 1973 the Supreme Court of Canada issued a landmark decision in the Calder case, confirming that Aboriginal title constituted a right within Canadian law.

Let Right Be Done examines the doctrine of Aboriginal title thirty years later and puts the Calder case in its legal, historical, and political context, both nationally and internationally. With its innovative blend of scholarly analysis and input from many of those intimately involved in the case, this book should be essential reading for anyone interested in Aboriginal law, treaty negotiations, and the history of the "BC Indian land question."

Recensioner i media

"Let Right Be Done is an invaluable collection of insightful essays on a crucial legal case that profoundly affected, and continues to influence, Canadian law. - J.R. (Jim) Miller, author, Reflections on Native-Newcomer Relations: Selected Essays. This important book reminds us of the courage and determination of the Nisga'a people. The late Frank Calder held an unwavering belief in justice and, with his accomplished counsel, Thomas Berger, Q.C., broke the trail for indigenous legal claims in Canada. Let Right Be Done is of acute interest to all who want to understand the contemporary recognition of Aboriginal title, specialist and general reader alike. - Honourable Judge Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, Representative for Children and Youth of British Columbia"
