First Peoples Law Reading List

By Bruce McIvor

During this time of social distancing, I thought it would be helpful to share an updated First Peoples Law reading list for anyone looking to learn more about Aboriginal law and Indigenous rights in Canada.

It is a work in progress, not a comprehensive list. I would welcome any feedback or additional reading recommendations.

Please consider ordering from independent bookstores offering local delivery across the country at this time.

The full reading list is provided here.
