Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"In 2000, the
Nisga
'a
treaty
marked the culmination of over one hundred years of
Nisga
'a people protesting, petitioning, litigating, and negotiating for recognition of their
rights
and land title.
Beyond
Rights
explores this ground-breaking achievement and its impact.
Treaty
making has long been an important element in
relationships
between the Crown and Indigenous peoples in what is now Canada, but
modern
treaties are more complex and multifaceted. Embodying the force of law, they are social and political compacts intended to create lasting reciprocal
relationships
between
treaty
partners. The
Nisga
'a were trailblazers in gaining Supreme Court recognition of unextinguished Aboriginal title, and the
treaty
marked a turning point in the relationship between First Nations and provincial and federal governments. By embedding three key elements -- self-government, title, and control of citizenship -- the
Nisga
'a
treaty
tackled fundamental issues concerning state sovereignty, the underlying title of the Crown, and the distribution of
rights
. Using this pivotal case study,
Beyond
Rights
analyzes both the potential and the limits of
treaty
making as a way to address historical injustice and achieve contemporary legal recognition. It also assesses the possibilities for a distinct Indigenous citizenship in a settler state with a long history of exclusion and assimilation."--Publisher.
