Aboriginal court

An Aboriginal court is a specialized legal process designed to address the unique cultural, social, and legal needs of Indigenous communities. It aims to incorporate Aboriginal traditions, values, and dispute-resolution methods into the justice system, often through community participation and tailored programs. These courts seek to promote understanding, healing, and fair treatment, especially in cases involving Indigenous individuals, by respecting cultural identity and encouraging community involvement while upholding legal standards. They serve as a bridge between mainstream justice and Indigenous cultures, striving for more culturally appropriate and effective outcomes.
