Discrimination
Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
This audio file is an excerpt from the CBC Radio program, The Current, broadcast on Jan. 25, 2017. It reports on the failures of the Canadian federal government to make progress in addressing the Calls to Action outlined in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's 2012 report. It also highlights the federal government's failure to take adequate measures to provide the remedies ordered by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in 2016 in a landmark case in which the Tribunal held that the federal government discriminates against children living on First Nations reserves. It further reports on an internal report from the Privy Council that gave Prime Minister Trudeau a failing grade in meeting the election promises he made to Indigenous Canadians.

Indian Chiefs Medal, Presented to commemorate Treaty Numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (Queen Victoria)

Portrait event
Indian
From Library and Archives Canada: <br /><blockquote>"Medal presented to Indian chiefs to commemorate Treaty Numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Year digit would be added following inscribed: "187" Treaty digit would be added following inscribed "INDIAN TREATY NO" This medal also used to replace the medal that had been struck as a replacement medal to commemorate Treaty 1 and Treaty 2. The original Treaty 1 and 2 medals had been deemed unsuitable and inferior, and the first replacement medals, which were silver plated, were also unsatisfactory as the plating quickly wore off. For examples of the original Treaty 1 and Treaty 2 medals, see 1986-79-1633, 1986-79-1635, and 1986-79-1636."</blockquote>

Thinking About Indigenous Legal Orders
Canada
Indigenous legal order
legal systems
First Nations
In this paper, the author explores how we might understand law from an Aboriginal perspective. She makes a critical distinction between "legal systems" and "legal order". She explores the sources of law, the kinds of law, legal reasoning, and the idea of legitimacy. She also probes the questions of where Indigenous laws are written and the geographic/territorial dimension to the law. She further considers issues related to gender and power.
