Indigenous peoples in Canada are striving for greater economic prosperity and political self-determination. Investigating specific legal, economic, and political practices, and including research from interviews with Indigenous political and business leaders, this collection seeks to provide insights grounded in lived experience. Covering such critical topics as economic justice and self-determination, and the barriers faced in pursuing each, Wise Practices sets out to understand the issues not in terms of sweeping empirical findings but through particular experiences of individuals and communities. The choice to focus on specific practices of law and governance is a conscious rejection of idealized theorizing about law and governance and represents an important step beyond the existing scholarship.
This volume offers readers a broad scope of perspectives, incorporating contemporary thought on Indigenous law and legal orders, the impact of state law on Indigenous peoples, theories and practices of economic development, and grounded practices of governances. While the authors address a range of topics, each does so in a way that sheds light on how Indigenous practices of law and governance support the social and economic development of Indigenous peoples.
Industry Reviews
Wise Practices is a timely and comprehensive collection of essays by a group of talented and visionary scholars. This book tackles one of the most important constitutional issues of our time - the scope and meaning of Indigenous self-government. A must-read for anyone interested in realizing the promise of Indigenous-non-Indigenous reconciliation in Canada.
- Nicole C. O'Byrne, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of New Brunswick, and Past-President of the Canadian Law and Society AssociationThis collection of essays is an impressive and necessary treasure that links Indigenous peoples' self-determination with wise economic practices, which generates desired and sanctified relationships and decolonizes barriers and tensions.
