Description

"This manuscript, the second in the Indigenous Justice series, explores the "use and misuse of the law to the detriment of Indigenous people." It is sorted around three major themes: it highlights the marginalization of Indigenous law; argues that European-based law has been used to "destroy Indigenous human rights by enacting laws about forced assimilation, political disenfranchisement, and the destruction of social institutions"; and shows that "law is often a tool of exploitation" that has been "used to justify slavery, massacres, land and resource theft, and treaty-breaking.""--
