OverviewAs a settler state, Canada's claims to sovereign control over territory are contested by Indigenous claims to land and to self-determination. Indigenous Peoples and the Future of Federalism presents legal analyses that explore forms of federalism and their potential to include multiple and divided sovereignties. This collection aims to advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples in Canada and elsewhere by developing jurisprudence on the possibilities for a nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous nations and Crown sovereignty. Contributors use legal creativity to explore how federalism can be structured to include the constitutional jurisdiction of Indigenous nations. Several chapters are grounded in the Canadian context while others connect the issues to international law and other settler colonial jurisdictions, recognising how Indigenous resistance to settler laws and government decisions can at the same time be the enactment of Indigenous legalities and constitutional cultures. Ultimately, Indigenous Peoples and the Future of Federalism offers innovative ways for Canada to move forward from this challenge using existing constitutional mechanisms to give life to a plurinational Canadian federalism inclusive of the jurisdiction of Indigenous peoples.

Table of ContentsReviews"""This is a fascinating collection that takes apart the assumptions that have led to the marginalization of Indigenous peoples' voices in the Canadian federal project. It includes a range of constructive and thoughtful reflections on how we might move forward as a nation that includes Indigenous peoples as vibrant partners in shaping our collective futures. The chapters do much more than offer a critique of Canada's current relationship with Indigenous peoples. They offer sophisticated ideas about how Canada's institutions might be transformed to set us on a path toward a respectful and dynamic co-existence with the original peoples of this land."" - Michael Coyle, Associate Professor of Law, University of Western Ontario ""Indigenous Peoples and the Future of Federalism addresses the legal fictions that sustain state sovereignty in opposition to Indigenous sovereignty on the territories now called Canada. By prioritizing Indigenous viewpoints on this constitutional flaw, the collection makes an important and timely contribution."" - Kirsty Gover, ARC Future Fellow, University of Melbourne ""The essays collected in Indigenous Peoples and the Future of Federalism offer important insights into current debates about Indigenous peoples and their rights in Canada and other countries."" - Mark Walters, Professor of Law, Queen's University" """Indigenous Peoples and the Future of Federalism addresses the legal fictions that sustain state sovereignty in opposition to Indigenous sovereignty on the territories now called Canada.
