BOOK AWARD:
Saskatchewan Book Awards Scholarly Publication of the Year 2000 for Aboriginal Tenure in the Constitution of Canada, co-authored with James (Sakej) Youngblood Henderson and Marjorie L. Benson (Carswell Legal Classics, 2000)

Citation: Aboriginal tenure, with its implications for internal governance, control of natural resources, and relations to other levels of government, is one of the most serious public policy issues facing Saskatchewan and Canada today. The authors of Aboriginal Tenure in the Constitution of Canada set this contentious issue in its historical, philosophical, and judicial contexts, and in this way demonstrate responsible and engaged scholarship of a high order.

Beginning with legal developments in the European, British, and Aboriginal traditions before Confederation, the authors move systematically to the history of relations under successive Canadian governments, and the more recent efforts to replace colonial discourse with the recognition of aboriginal sovereignty within the Canadian community. The authors also offer some suggestions for a way forward in current land tenure negotiations.

With the clear development of its argument, its considerable scholarly apparatus, and its clear style, Aboriginal Tenure in the Constitution of Canada makes a significant academic contribution to a matter of pressing national concern. We are happy to declare it the recipient of the first annual Saskatchewan Book Award in the Scholarly Writing Category.--Jurors Bill Maes, Dalhousie University, and Nicholas Terpstra, University of Toronto

Shortlist nominee for SBA Book of the Year 2000
Citation: "the fundamental text as Canada struggles with its most pressing problem of the 21st century--dealing Aboriginal Peoples, at last, into Confederation"--Jurors Kristjana Gunnars and Rudy Wiebe
