Peace and Good Order: The Case for Indigenous Justice in Canada by Harold R. Johnson
4.0
“To say that law and justice have failed Indigenous Peoples in Canada is a vast understatement. Law and justice appear to be the tools employed to continue the forced subjugation of an entire population.”
Harold Johnson is from Montreal Lake Cree Nation in northern Saskatchewan and has worked as a Crown prosecutor amongst other things. This book is him “taking responsibility, for has actions and inactions.”
Really interesting content and condemnation of the current justice system from someone who has seen both sides, working within it and seeing the effect on Indigenous communities. I would’ve enjoyed it even more if the writing throughout had flowed a bit better.
