Aboriginal Law

Aboriginal Law is a body of legal principles and treaties that recognize and protect the rights, interests, and cultures of Indigenous peoples, such as First Nations, Inuit, and Métis in Canada. It addresses issues like land rights, self-governance, cultural preservation, and disputes involving Indigenous communities. This area of law acknowledges Indigenous sovereignty and the historical injustices they have faced, aiming to promote reconciliation and fair treatment within the broader legal system. Essentially, Aboriginal Law ensures that Indigenous Peoples’ identities and rights are recognized and upheld within national and provincial legal frameworks.
