When we think about how Canada governs itself, how the provinces govern themselves, how powers are distributed and people act on those authorities and systems of accountability, that governance and law is a central part of how we govern ourselves. Therefore, indigenous law for indigenous peoples, indigenous societies, is also central.
The work that we've been doing for a number of years is substantively researching and articulating indigenous law across the spectrum of subjects, including lands and resources. Right now we're working on water law and we're working with human rights and governance and moving into other areas.
We're creating resources that will be used to develop curricula within the indigenous law degree program, but there are also materials that are available now to the communities that we're working in partnership with. We've been working intensely with community partners. We've trained community members in working with indigenous legal methodologies and tackling tough questions. We create videos and printed materials and other kinds of resources for people.
We understand that we have to work in a variety of ways to engage people in what they care about with their communities and with their regions and with their territories and how they interact with neighbours and with Canada.
