Beyond Rights: The Nisga’a Final Agreement and the Challenges of Modern Treaty Relationships
Autor Carole Blackburnen Paperback – 30 aug 2022
After more than one hundred years of protest, petitions, litigation, and negotiation, the Canadian and British Columbian governments signed a treaty with the Nisga’a Nation in 2000, formally recognizing the unextinguished land rights of the Nisga’a people. The unprecedented agreement, providing both self-rule and a perpetual land title, marked a turning point in the relationship between First Nations and settler states across the globe. Using the Nisga’a Final Agreement as a case study, Beyond Rights explores the possibilities and limitations of treaty-making in the ongoing fight for Indigenous sovereignty and legal recognition throughout the world.

Recenzii
"I have no qualms about recommending this book to anyone interested in learning about the Nisga’a treaty, its history, and how it has worked out since its signing. Blackburn’s writing is easy to read without being simplistic, and the only time things even come close to being unclear is when discussing reconciliation. Of course, this vagueness speaks more to ongoing debates and conversations regarding what constitutes reconciliation than it does scholarship and/or editing. A mere 146 pages long (when you exclude the front matter, notes, references, and index), it is perfect for a quick read. And given that we are fast approaching the twenty-five-year anniversary of the territory, combined with recent developments in British Columbia such as the Tsilhqot’in case, Stó:lo Xwexwilmexw memorandum of understanding, and recognition of Haida title to Haida Gwaii, I would encourage everyone to do so."
