Description
Discusses the role archival material plays in common law and the consolidation of state power, and questions whether this circumscribes the courts’ ability to address historical injustices. Uses the case of R v Van der Peet to illustrate two different approaches to the question of Aboriginal title.
Refers to cases:
R v Van der Peet
Delgamuukw v British Columbia
