Abstract

Canada’s reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and groups in Canada is an ambitious goal with little in the way of clear direction. Canadian courts have provided limited direction in their decisions, yet the result of litigation has imposed a concept of reconciliation based on First Nations remaining subordinate to state authority and interests. Reconciliation will be confounded without gaining a shared understanding with Indigenous peoples. Different Indigenous groups will have their own interpretation of what reconciliation may require to be successful. One approach to seeking common understandings is for Canadians to learnhow relationality operates as a function of disparate Indigenous legal orders. While substantive research into Indigenous legal orders is relatively new in Canadian scholarship, there is much knowledge to be gleaned from interdisciplinary research, particularly in anthropology, from the early twentieth century. At the risk of presenting an abrupt shift in disciplinary paradigms in this article, the author follows a thread of relationality from Canadian courts through the lens of doctrinal jurisprudence into relationality within various Indigenous legal orders through anthropological study. Combined, the article offers a potential path to reconciliation through relationality within Indigenous legal orders.
原住民法律秩序中的关系和解
加拿大与加拿大土著人民和群体的和解是一个雄心勃勃的目标,几乎没有明确的方向。加拿大法院在裁决中提供了有限的指导,但诉讼结果强加了一种基于原住民仍然服从国家权力和利益的和解概念。如果不能与土著人民达成共同谅解,和解就会受到干扰。不同的土著群体将对和解可能需要什么才能成功有自己的解释。寻求共识的一种方法是让加拿大人了解关系是如何作为不同土著法律秩序的一个功能运作的。虽然对土著法律秩序的实质性研究在加拿大学术界相对较新,但从20世纪初的跨学科研究,特别是人类学研究中,可以收集到很多知识。在这篇文章中,作者冒着学科范式突然转变的风险,通过人类学研究,从加拿大法院通过教义法学的视角,将关系性线索转移到各种土著法律秩序中的关系性。综合起来,这篇文章提供了一条通过土著法律秩序中的关系实现和解的潜在途径。
