Indigenous Law & Aboriginal Law

This guide is intended to help researchers locate cases, legislation, resources and databases on Indigenous Peoples and the Law.

About this list of Modern Treaties

This resource is meant to serve as a hub of modern day (post 1975) agreements between Indigenous nations and provincial, territorial and federal governments. 

The goal of this resource list is to include all agreements that outline the rights of Indigenous nations in their relationships with different levels of government. The hope is that a central hub will increase understanding and engagement with these agreements. 

This hub will strive to be as up to date and comprehensive as possible. All feedback is welcome. Please email lisa.levesque@torontomu.ca if you have suggestions, agreements that you would like to see added to the hub, or anything you would like to discuss. We hope to make this a collaborative project that serves the needs of as many people as possible.

As modern agreements are constantly being developed and are not always available online, it is important to note that this hub will always likely be missing agreements. Please keep this in mind as you are using the resource.

This list of agreements was originally compiled by Yael Boyd during her professional placement in 2023 with the Office of the Independent Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and Burial Sites associated with Indian Residential Schools. Thank you to the donors who made the professional placement possible.
