Topics covered are: characteristics of traditions, examples of law (Hodinohso:ni, Anishinabek, Cree, Métis, Carrier, Nisga’a, Inuit, Mi'kmaq), multi-juridical legal culture, challenges and opportunities in recognizing Indigenous traditions, and entrenching multi-juridicalism in Canada.
Argues that while, on the surface Canada may seem to have respected the right to self-government, in practical terms it has done little and a landmark decision is needed to speed the process.
