Abstract

This paper is a critical examination of the communal socioeconomic impacts of the Supreme Court of Canada’s Marshall rulings. It begins by providing some historical context of the Peace and Friendship Treaties signed by the chiefs in Sikniktuk. A critique seen through a counter-Enlightenment lens is then provided. The paper concludes by outlining some perceived disparities of economic benefit in Elsipogtog First Nation after entering into federal fishery agreements.
