Abstract

"Indigenous peoples around the world are seeking greater control over their cultural heritage. In Canada, issues of protection, appropriation, and repatriation have sometimes been addressed through negotiation. However, the legal environment for negotiation is sometimes dated, often uncertain, and always complex.

First Nations Cultural Heritage and Law is an interdisciplinary volume exploring selected First Nations perspectives on cultural heritage and issues of reform within and beyond Western law. Written in plain language and in collaboration with First Nations partners, it contains seven case studies featuring indigenous concepts, legal orders, and encounters with legislation and negotiations; a national review essay; three chapters reflecting on major themes; and a self-reflective critique on the challenges of collaborative and intercultural research."--Amazon.
