First Peoples Law LLP is excited to announce the release of the 2024 edition of Indigenous Peoples and the Law in Canada.
The book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of cases, legislation and other developments in the law, including Aboriginal title, Treaty rights and the duty to consult. We hope it serves as a useful resource in understanding, defending and advancing Indigenous rights.
We are grateful to Indigenous communities across the country whose longstanding efforts to protect their lands, uphold their laws and defend their rights underlie the cases in the book.
We remain committed to making Indigenous Peoples and the Law in Canada as relevant and accessible as possible. As always, we welcome feedback and ideas for future editions.
