Aboriginal Rights, Claims and the Making and Remaking of History

This extensive work provides a thorough comparative study of the various types of forums, including courts, tribunals, and commissions, in Canada, the USA, South Africa, and New Zealand that were established to address Aboriginal land claims and the impact of their decisions and outcomes. Primarily a research-based academic text, it can be useful for teachers to gain an understanding of land claims issues, to select passages to support lessons on land claims and Aboriginal rights, and to launch discussions. The text could also serve as a research aid for strong learners in grades 11 and 12.
