Indigenous Law

Since long before fishing boats or fur traders or settlers came to what is now Canada, Indigenous Peoples have lived under distinct legal traditions. Indigenous law can take many different forms, including objects such as wampum belts and drums, as well as knowledge handed down through the generations from time immemorial. Truth Before Reconciliation: Indigenous Law will introduce students to new ideas about how people can live together, and enhance their understanding of the long-standing laws governing First Nations, Inuit and Métis life. This special publication for Truth and Reconciliation Week 2025 will be written and illustrated by Indigenous contributors.
To guide teachers in their own learning and to help bring truth and reconciliation into their classrooms, this magazine will be accompanied by supplementary educational resources available in English and French. The magazine, intended for students in grades 5–12, is offered in print and digital formats in both English and French.
There are 50 copies per box and orders are limited to a maximum of 200 copies. As a complement, you’ll have access to a free digital educator’s guide. Unfortunately, single print copies are not available, however, homeschoolers and members of the general public are welcome to register for the digital versions and accompanying resources.
Incomplete registrations are not guaranteed delivery of requested material.
Please note: Due to high demand we are out of all print copies. You may still request digital versions.
