Volume 24.1 (2019) Review of Constitutional Studies / Revue d'études constitutionnelles

Special Issue: Treaty Federalism

Co-Editors: Joshua Nichols & Amy Swiffen
The implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) offers a way to re-imagine what Indigenous self-determination and reconciliation might mean in Canada and elsewhere. It makes it possible to speak of Indigenous peoples as nations within a multinational democratic federation, rather than minority populations within a state. The papers in this issue, which were delivered at a Workshop held at the University of Alberta in May 2019, explore ‘treaty federalism’ which is a re-imagining of what we understand as sovereignty and the foundation of the Canadian state.
