"A very rich collection of essays from a diverse range of authors ... I strongly recommend it." Nigel Bankes, Review of Constitutional Studies

“By keeping Canada and [section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982] squarely in focus, this collection provides an organized and detailed account of how [section] 35 jurisprudence is wholly inadequate and highlights areas that are ripe for immediate change. Braiding Legal Orders provides a useful snapshot of various contemporary perspectives at a time when UNDRIP is increasingly taking centre stage.” Saskatchewan Law Review

“A fantastic introduction to different Indigenous legal traditions but, more specifically, to the role they need to play in implementing the UNDRIP within Canada. It focuses not only on consent and natural resource rights but also on language rights and the larger questions concerning self-determination and the goal of a nation-to-nation relationship.” *The Canadian Yearbook of International Law *
