Possibilities and Hopes for Indigenous Law

Guest Speaker: Dr. Val Napoleon

Tuesday March 15, 11:45 am at the

Grand Pacific Hotel, Victoria

What are the possibilities in the future for Indigenous law in the world – as law? Dr. Val Napoleon, Acting Dean and Professor, and Law Foundation Chair in Indigenous Justice and Governance, will speak on how the new field of Indigenous law in Canada and elsewhere in the world has been one of constant change and growth, of innovation and challenge. Through the futuristic looking glass, various catalysts and forces have contributed to the building of a strong foundation for a multijuridical Canada.  While we can look back to the contributing factors for Indigenous law in Canada today, can we turn to the future to imagine Indigenous law in the world – as law?
