[cid:c17628e7-2199-4ea2-b07b-a6d0553b6b05] Greetings CAHRI Colleagues, The Atlantic Human Rights Centre invites you to the 2022 Abdul Q. Lodhi Memorial Lecture in Human Rights, “The Resurgence of Indigenous Law in Canada” with Dr. John Borrows, on Thursday, March 3rd at 7:00 p.m. AST via Zoom. Dr. Borrows is the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Law and Professor at the University of Victoria Faculty of Law. About the lecture, he says: “Indigenous peoples use law to regulate their affairs and resolve their disputes. Indigenous law functions through standards, principles, criteria, measures, guideposts, tradition, precedent, and processes to provide intellectual and cultural resources for making decisions. “Indigenous law is growing in force and importance and this talk will discuss how and why this is occurring. In the process, legislatures, courts, corporations, law schools and other institutions in Canada are increasingly having to grapple with Indigenous law and Canadian law related to Indigenous peoples. This talk will discuss how Indigenous peoples’ law is an increasingly active force across the land.” Dr. Borrows is the author of books including Recovering Canada: The Resurgence of Indigenous Law (Donald Smiley Award for Best Book in Canadian Political Science, 2002), Canada’s Indigenous Constitution (Canadian Law and Society Best Book Award 2011), Drawing out Law: A Spirit’s Guide (2010), Freedom and Indigenous Constitutionalism (Donald Smiley Award for Best Book in Canadian Political Science, 2016), The Right Relationship (with Michael Coyle, ed.), Resurgence and Reconciliation (with Michael Asch, Jim Tully, eds.), and Law’s Indigenous Ethics (2020 Best Subsequent Book Award from Native American and Indigenous Studies Association, 2020 W. Wes Pue Best Book Award from the Canadian Law and Society Association). He is also the 2017 Killam Prize winner in Social Sciences and the 2019 Molson Prize winner from the Canada Council for the Arts, the 2020 Governor General’s Innovation Award winner, and the 2021 Canadian Bar Association President’s Award winner. He was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2020. He is a member of the Chippewa of the Nawash First Nation in Ontario.

In recent decades, claims for reparations of historic injustices have amplified, whether in the context of colonial wrongdoing against Indigenous Peoples, reparation for enslavement or compensation for victims of discriminatory laws targeting specific minority groups. Meanwhile, the emergence of transitional justice has sparked the normative development of the right to reparations.

About the speakers Éloïse Décoste is a Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation scholar and a LL.D. candidate at the Département des sciences juridiques of the Université du Québec à Montréal.

About the speaker Professor Esmeralda Thornhill is a lawyer, linguist and pedagogue by training, a lecturer, researcher, anti-racism trainer and writer by experience, and a longtime social justice advocate and community organizer by conviction. Research Associate since 2014 with Concordia's Simone de Beauvoir Institute, she formally retired in 2016 from Dalhousie's Schulich Law School where when appointed first scholar to anchor the unprecedented James Robinson Johnston Endowed Chair in Black Canadian Studies (1996-2002), she became the first African Canadian woman to hold a Tenured Full Professorship of Law in Canada. Seasoned Human Rights scholar-practitioner and founding member of the Congress of Black Women of Canada, she pioneered the first university-accredited course on Black Women's Studies offered in Canada (Concordia, 1983). In 2012 McGill's Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism invited this former Fulbright Fellow to become its first O'Brien Fellow in Residence. Grounded in Critical Race Theory, her teaching, research and scholarship reflect an Afrocentric, anti-racist stance that resolutely addresses the "material reality" which Black people must navigate, nationally and globally. Besides degrees in languages and pedagogy (McGill), law degrees (UQAM, San Diego), post graduate studies in Spain, England and France, and international human rights law internships (UNESCO, Paris; Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Washington, D.C.), she holds Honorary Doctorates from CUNY and Concordia.
