Indigenous Commerce and Business

Indigenous Law is the umbrella term for a wide array of areas of law as they apply to First Nations and other Indigenous groups.

Typical areas include:

• Treaty rights
• self-government
• economic development
• natural resources rights and management
• hunting, fishing and trapping rights
• fiduciary responsibility of the Crown (that is, what the Crown is obligated to do with regard to Aboriginal peoples)
• land and property compensation claims
• government relations
• taxation
