Welcome to First Peoples Law's Blog

We will soon start to post concise, thought provoking comments on legal issues of interest to Aboriginal people across Canada.

Our goal is to provide relevant, timely analysis on current legal issues affecting First Nations in the short and long term.

We hope our postings are of interest. We look forward to your feedback.
