Beyond Rights

The Nisga’a Final Agreement and the Challenges of Modern Treaty Relationships

Carole Blackburn

“Beyond Rights rejects one-sided assessments of modern treaty agreements and provides a nuanced view of their generative potential as well as their inherent limits. It will undoubtedly become a major reference on this topic.”

— MARTIN PAPILLON, professor of political science, Université de Montréal

In 2000, the Nisga’a treaty marked the culmination of over one hundred years of Nisga’a people protesting, petitioning, litigating, and negotiating for recognition of their rights. Beyond Rights explores this groundbreaking achievement and its impact.
