Braiding Legal Traditions: Indigenous laws in Courts 

Presented by the CBA Alberta Aboriginal Law (North) Section

On Demand. Originally presented on Mar. 11, 2026.

How are Courts engaging with Indigenous Laws today? What are some of the challenges and opportunities that are emerging as Indigenous Peoples and individuals bring arguments grounded in Indigenous legal traditions or Indigenous legislation before Courts? This session examines these questions, and shares themes from research in this area.
