Reviews

"""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 ""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"
