DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism is pleased to w
 elcome Dwight Newman\, Professor of Law & Canada Research Chair in Indigen
 ous Rights in Constitutional and International Law\, University of Saskatc
 hewan\, and a Visiting Fellow\, Université de Montréal\, Faculté de Droit 
 (Jan-Mar 2017).\n\nAbstract\n\nProfessor Newman will discuss a recent pape
 r of his\, where he considers ways in which imposed judicial and imposed s
 tatutory forms of Indigenous property have worked against opportunities fo
 r Indigenous economic growth and discusses incremental ways of seeking to 
 improve the situation.\n\nOn the judicial side\, the doctrine of Aborigina
 l title has seen courts homogenize different systems of Indigenous propert
 y to a greater degree than often realized\, sometimes overriding cultural 
 values of actual Indigenous communities in favour of the values certain so
 cietal sectors would prefer them to have. The statutory side has seen the 
 continued imposition of similar ideas\, albeit with some recent changes be
 ginning to show some ways forward in enabling Indigenous communities to ac
 cess the economic value of their land.\n\nIn contributing to thought on wa
 ys of transcending underlying public/private law divides and forms of biju
 ridical legal domination while seeking economic opportunities for Indigeno
 us communities\, the paper will show the effective need in a context like 
 Aboriginal law to move nimbly between more abstract theory and detailed co
 nsideration of matters like the regulatory component of land registry syst
 ems\, and it will seek to comment on a number of paths forward in terms of
  incremental reforms to Indigenous property systems as they are currently 
 entrenched in Canadian law.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nDwight Newman is Profe
 ssor of Law and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Rights in Constitution
 al and International Law at the University of Saskatchewan\, as well as a 
 Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.  He is currently a Visit
 ing Fellow at the Université de Montréal Faculté de Droit and later this s
 pring will be a Herbert Smith Visiting Fellow at the Cambridge University

 C grant on “The Post-Tsilhqot’in Doctrine of Aboriginal Title”.  The paper
  he is presenting also builds to some degree on work he carried out as a r
 ecent visitor at the Property and Environment Research Center in Montana a
