Peace and Good Order: The Case for Indigenous Justice in Canada by Harold R. Johnson

3.0

A scathing indictment of Canadian law practices and the ways they continue to hurt indigenous peoples. I found the references to the early 20th century particularly troubling, along with the incriminating data around the dramatic/disproportional increase in incarceration of indigenous men in the last 50 yrs.
The final chapter is a great summary of steps that can be taken toward both indigenous autonomy in adjudicating justice AND settler reckoning with misguided practice and ignorance.
