Description

Relying extensively on the court transcripts from Delgam’Uukw v. British Columbia, her own research, and material provided by the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs’ place of job, Morning time Mills paints a compelling picture of the Gitxsan relationship to the land and their community, and their court battle the entire way to Canada’s Supreme Court to prove their Aboriginal right to land and self-government. Contrary to the position taken by many legal scholars, Mills argues that the trial judgement in the Delgam’Uukw opened up new opportunities for First Nations people to present evidence in accordance with oral traditions that had not been prior to now accepted by the courts. Even as the book specializes in the judgments rendered in the Gitxsan’s struggle in the courts and an analysis of the judgments and strategies utilized, it is more than a law book. Written to appeal to a wide audience, Morning time Mills passionately shows how reconciliation will also be achieved between Canada’s First Nations and the more than a few levels of government. The lessons to be learned from this book will also be applied equally to all Indigenous communities in Canada and in different places.
