The British Columbia Treaty Process was established in 1992 with
the aim of resolving the outstanding land claims of First Nations
peoples in British Columbia. Since that time, two discourses have
been prominent within the treaty negotiations taking place between
First Nations and the governments of Canada and British Columbia.
The first, that of justice, asks how we can remedy the past
injustices that were imposed on BC's First Nations through the
removal of their lands and forced assimilation. The second, that of
certainty, asks whether this historical repair can occur in a
manner that provides a better future for all British Columbians. In
Between Justice and Certainty, Andrew Woolford examines the
interplay between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal visions of justice
and certainty in the first decade of the BC Treaty Process and
poses the question: Is there a space between justice and certainty
in which modern treaties can be made? treaty documents, he argues
that the goal of certainty is overriding the demand for justice in
the treaty process, and suggests that greater attention to justice
is necessary if we are to initiate a process of reconciliation
between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in BC. Between
Justice and Certainty is recommended reading for sociologists,
anthropologists, historians, political scientists, and legal
scholars interested in how we deal with past injustices, as well as
for anyone wishing to learn more about the BC Treaty Process.
