Conflict in Caledonia: Aboriginal Land Rights and the Rule of LawUBC Press, 7 nov. 2011 - 260 pages On 28 February 2006, the Six Nations of the Grand River blocked workers from entering a half-built housing development in southern Ontario. They renamed the land Kanonhstaton, "the protected place." The protest drew national and international attention to the issue of Aboriginal land rights and sparked a series of ongoing events known as the "Caledonia Crisis." Laura DeVries' powerful account of the dispute links the actions of police, governmental officials, and locals to entrenched non-Aboriginal discourses about law, landscape, and identity. It encourages non-Aboriginal Canadians to reconsider their assumptions to view "facts" such as the rule of law as culturally specific notions that prevent truly equitable dialogue. DeVries not only reveals the conflicting visions of justice held by various parties to the dispute, she also seeks out possible solutions in alternative conceptualizations of sovereignty over land and law embedded in the Constitution. |
