The First Nations of Canada had law, and therefore a justice system, long before the arrival of the French and British. With the imposition of British rule, however, the First Nations have had a foreign, and very different, justice system superimposed on them. At the present time, there are really three different kinds of justice systems operating among the First Nations of Canada: the European system which is alien to the traditional cultures, traditional systems which operate to hear certain kinds of cases, and a blended system which is based on the European justice model, but which is empathetic to aboriginal culture. This diary will focus on a case study of the blended system.
I wrote The Genocide of Matriarchal Societies in April of 2007, and there is some additional information I want to share along those general lines now.

I wrote The Genocide of Matriarchal Societies in April of last year (2007), and there is some additional information I want to share along those general lines now. We'll pick up where we left off and the answer to "Where Are All Your Women" will be made chillingly clear as to why they are "Missing In Action" after we recognize that a woman is set to be beheaded for "practicing witchcraft." First however, we will reread the words of Archie Fire Lame Deer and relish in the scholarship of Barbara Alice Mann.
Recent news reports state that global warming and the shrinking Arctic ice caps are opening sea lanes, making islands accessible and causing the international community to engage in a new race to acquire this ''new world.'' Conflicts have already arisen over shipping, islands, fish, minerals and oil that are now becoming exploitable.
