"Wise Practices is a timely and comprehensive collection of essays by a group of talented and visionary scholars. This book tackles one of the most important constitutional issues of our time – the scope and meaning of Indigenous self-government. A must-read for anyone interested in realizing the promise of Indigenous–non-Indigenous reconciliation in Canada."

Sa’ke’j Henderson, Research Fellow, Indigenous Law Centre, University of Saskatchewan:

"This collection of essays is an impressive and necessary treasure that links Indigenous peoples’ self-determination with wise economic practices, which generates desired and sanctified relationships and decolonizes barriers and tensions."
