Indigenous Environmental Law Papers - 2007

Picture
First Nations have their own laws, based upon their relationship with their lands and waters. CIER commissioned six papers by Indigenous scholars, lawyers, and leaders that explored these questions:

  • How have and do First Nations define their laws?
  • What process do they use to enforce them?
  • How do they relate to similar or conflicting federal or provincial laws?

Each paper is available below.
