Research Hour: Linguistic Methods for Law Revitalization
This seminar will be led by Naiomi Metallic, Associate Professor and Chancellor鈥檚 Chair in Aboriginal Law and Policy at the Schulich School of Law.
Naiomi W. Metallic is from the Listuguj M矛gmaq First Nation, located within the Gesp猫gew脿gi district of M矛gm脿gi. She holds a BA (AV俱乐部), an LLB (AV俱乐部), an LLL (Ottawa), an LLM (Osgoode), and PhD (Alberta 鈥� in progress).
As a legal scholar, she is most interested in writing about how the law can be harnessed to promote the well-being and self-determination of Indigenous peoples in Canada, particularly through the revitalization of their governance, legal, cultural and economic institutions. Naiomi鈥檚 thesis explores how the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples provides a framework for the exercise and implementation of the inherent right to self-government and Indigenous laws in Canada.
Finally, Naiomi is the daughter of renowned M矛gmaq linguist, the late Emmanuel N脿g霉gwes Metallic, and has been actively learning her language since 2018. Recently, she has combined her growing knowledge in the areas of Indigenous law revitalization and the M矛gmaq language to write on the various ways language can be harnessed to draw out Indigenous laws.
This session is for faculty and graduate students only.
