About this Book

"The changes in Canadian law relating to the constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and treaty rights is rapidly changing and is unprecedented in its scope and the speed at which change is occuring. Canada is unique globally in its approach to protecting - at a constitutional level - the Aboriginal and treaty rights of Aboriginal people. However, while great progress has been made in the developing and sophisticated case law to date from the Supreme Court of Canada, particularly since its 1990 decision in 'R. v. Sparrow, ' we are but barely through the first chapter of what will be the substantial and continually evolving book on the uniquely Canadian constitutional approach to addressing Aboriginal and treaty rights at law."--
