McGill Law Prof. Kirsten Anker will moderate a discussion with Shiri Pasternak of the Yellowhead Institute and Rayanna Seymour-Hourie of West Coast Environmental Law on the intersection of Indigenous legal traditions and ecological law.
Chair:
Kirsten Anker is Associate Professor at McGill Faculty of Law, where she teaches property, legal theory and Aboriginal law/Indigenous legal traditions. Her book Declarations of Interdependence: A Legal Pluralist Approach to Indigenous Rights explores various aspects of claiming Native/Aboriginal Title and she has written widely on the challenge to orthodox understandings of law posed by the recognition in Australia and Canada of the existence of Indigenous law. Current projects include work on Indigenous legal traditions in formal legal education, non-static digital mapping in land claims, the privatisation of Indigenous consultation, and ecological jurisprudence.
