Learning from the Past : Five Cases of Aboriginal Justice

Learning from the Past by John Steckely traces five cases of injustice faced by Aboriginals in the Canadian justice system: J. J. Harper, Helen Betty Osborne, Donald Marshall Jr., Minnie Sutherland, and Neil Stonechild. Each case has had an inquest, inquiry or even a royal commission dedicated to identifying the wrong done, with recommendations for change. This book reveals what has happened since the investigations, good and bad.
