Description
An account of the resource
This section examines the legal systems that exist in Canada with a particular view to exploring the intersection of these systems with Canadian senses of identity.
Canada has three primary legal traditions: indigenous law, civil law, and common law. Indigenous law is a legal system based on the values of indigenous persons and includes the use of oral traditions in a central way. Common law is a legal system which derives law from judicial precedent. Civil law, in contrast, adjudicates civil matters and is based solely on codified statute.
In this section, we emphasize the interactions and conflicts among Canadian legal systems, as well as the result of said conflict in the justice system. Finally, we examine recommendations to improve congruence among the systems especially vis-à-vis indigenous law.

Description
An account of the resource
This is a hyperlink to the 2014 Supreme Court of Canada decision in <em>Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia.</em> <br /><br />In Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia, the Supreme Court of Canada established Aboriginal title for the Tsilhqot’in Nation. The case blended Aboriginal principles and traditions concerning land use with the common law notion of occupation. The court held that the Tsilhqot’in people had the right to control their land according to their own wishes and that the government could not arbitrarily expropriate the land for their own use. The landmark case continues to have implications for Indigenous nations and the provinces.
