Joan Ryan and her research team have carefully documented Dogrib
traditional justice as it has been practised over the past century.
Relying upon information received from the elders of Lac La Martre,
Northwest Territories, they have unearthed a sophisticated body of
Dogrib law, the understanding of which has important implications
for contemporary ways in which the Dogrib people and the department
of justice can deal with social control. The material is organized
and presented in a way that makes it accessible to both Dene and
non--Dene readers alike. The methodology of the book is one of
"participatory action research," in which the community itself
owned and directed the research, training, and outcomes. By
exposing the very different values and legal systems of the Dene
and non--Dene, this book sets the framework for the possibility of
a Dene-controlled and culturally appropriate justice system. The
book will be of value to those interested in native
self--government, constitutional rights, and aboriginal law, as
well as to all those involved with First Nations peoples.
