Lament for a First Nation: The Williams Treaties of Southern Ontario by Peggy J.

Description: Lament for a First Nation by Peggy J. Blair Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An important analysis of how the 1994 Howard decision on the Williams Treaties was based on erroneous cultural assumptions that favoured public over special rights. Publisher Description In a 1994 decision known as Howard, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Aboriginal signatories to the 1923 Williams Treaties had knowingly given up not only their title to off-reserve lands but also their treaty rights to hunt and fish for food. No other First Nations in Canada have ever been found to have willingly surrendered similar rights. Blair argues that the Canadian courts caused a serious injustice by applying erroneous cultural assumptions in their interpretation of the evidence. In particular, they confused provincial government policy, which has historically favoured public over special rights, with the understanding of the parties at the time. Author Biography Peggy J. Blair is one of Canadas leading lawyers in the field of Aboriginal law. Details ISBN 0774815124 ISBN-13 9780774815123 Title Lament for a First Nation Author Peggy J.
