Description
Discusses the failure of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) in 1927 to consider the perspectives of the Inuit, Innut, and Algonquian peoples when resolving the question of the border between Newfoundland and Quebec in the Labrador region. Highlights this practice as a reflection of Canada’s colonial past and how the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge would have changed the process.
