• Summary:"Relying extensively on the court transcripts from Delgam'Uukw v. British Columbia, her own research, and material provided by the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs' office, Dawn Mills paints a compelling picture of the Gitxsan relationship to the land and their community, and their court battle all the way to Canada's Supreme Court to prove their Aboriginal right to land and self-government. Contrary to the position taken by many legal scholars, Mills argues that the trial judgement in the Delgam'Uukw opened up new opportunities for First Nations people to present evidence based on oral traditions that had not been previously accepted by the courts."--Jacket.
