An overview of Aboriginal and treaty rights and compensation for their breach

Summary: A pressing issue today is how to compensate Aboriginal Peoples for the infringement of their rights. In this book, Robert examines Aboriginal and treaty rights in an historical and legal context, explaining their origins and reviewing major Canadian court decisions that have defined Aboriginal rights. The author points out that Aboriginal rights include more than Aboriginal title, and stresses the fiduciary relationship between the federal government and Aboriginal Peoples. He also discusses the impact of the Canadian Constitution on Aboriginal rights, and the limits to the government's ability to infringe upon Aboriginal and treaty rights.
