In Canada, Indigenous laws are often misunderstood, disregarded, or simply invisible to non-Indigenous people. \u003cem\u003eIndigenous Law in Context \u003c\/em\u003einvestigates this issue in terms of one First Nation and a particular legal area: water governance within Tilhqotin traditional territory in the Chilcotin region of British Columbia.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDespite recent gestures toward reconciliation, the Canadian state undeniably continues to assume dominance in law making. Given this reality, is giving deference to Indigenous governments for decision making possible when it comes to management of a precious resource? Alan Hanna explores the intersections and conflicts inherent in Indigenous, provincial, and federal government legal approaches to water governance. He analyzes portions of Tilhqotin oral tradition in conjunction with knowledge, gleaned from numerous interviews with Elders.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of this painstaking work is to bridge conflicting world views in order to create dialogue on how Indigenous law  and specifically water law  can be meaningfully applied to twenty-first-century issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alan Hanna (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Sewn","offer_id":48151892754654,"sku":"9780774871228","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/4567\/6440\/files\/BNCImageAPI_7b25cd79-b5ac-4855-87bc-04faafb202d7.jpg?v=1776993638","url":"https:\/\/paragraphbooks.com\/fr\/products\/9780774871228","provider":"Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
