The problem of justice tradition and law in the Coast Salish world  Cover Image E-book E-book

The problem of justice [electronic resource] : tradition and law in the Coast Salish world / Bruce G. Miller.

Summary:

For the indigenous peoples of North America, the history of colonialism has often meant a distortion of history, even, in some cases, a loss or distorted sense of their own native practices of justice. How contemporary native communities have dealt quite differently with this dilemma is the subject of The Problem of Justice, a richly textured ethnographic study of indigenous peoples struggling to reestablish control over justice in the face of conflicting external and internal pressures.
