Legal Education: Teaching and Learning Law – Reconciliation, Decolonization & IndigenizationThis library guide provides a collection of resources on the topic of legal education. The page on Reconciliation, Decolonization & Indigenization is meant to support work within the Law School toward realizing Call to Action 28 from the
Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action:
We call upon law schools in Canada to require all law students to take a course in Aboriginal people and the law, which includes the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Aboriginal-Crown relations. This will require skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.
It highlights some resources that represent starting points for learning about teaching law for reconciliation, decolonization, and Indigenization.
