Indigenous conceptions of land and property are central to this project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eCreating Indigenous Property \u003c\/i\u003eidentifies how contemporary Indigenous conceptions of property are rooted in and informed by their societally specific norms, meanings, and ethics. Through detailed analysis, the authors illustrate that unexamined and unresolved contradictions between the historic and the present have created powerful competing versions of Indigenous law, legal authorities, and practices that reverberate through Indigenous communities. They have identified the contradictions and conflicts within Indigenous communities about relationships to land and non-human life forms, about responsibilities to one another, about environmental decisions, and about wealth distribution. \u003ci\u003eCreating Indigenous Property\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to identifying the way that Indigenous discourses, processes, and institutions can empower the use of Indigenous law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book explores different questions generated by these dynamics, including: Where is the public\/private divide in Indigenous and Canadian law, and why should it matter? How do land and property shape local economies? Whose voices are heard in debates over property and why are certain voices missing? How does gender matter to the conceptualization of property and the Indigenous legal imagination? What is the role and promise of Indigenous law in negotiating new relationships between Indigenous peoples and Canada? In grappling with these questions, readers will join the authors in exploring the conditions under which Canadian and Indigenous legal orders can productively co-exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Val Napoleon,Sari Graben,Angela Cameron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487505455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVal Napoleon\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor, the director of the Indigenous Law Research Unit, and the Law Foundation Chair of Indigenous Justice and Governance in the Faculty of Law at the University of Victoria.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSari Graben\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor in the Department of Law \u0026amp; Business in the Ted Rogers School of Management, Ryerson University. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAngela Cameron\u003c\/b\u003e is the Shirley Greenberg Chair and Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45352007270515,"sku":"9781487505455","price":188.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_ecd24750-4be1-4b70-ba08-707394c06759.jpg?v=1786547699","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/creating-indigenous-property-power-rights-and-relationships-9781487505455","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
