John Borrows on Living Traditions: Windingo’s and Indigenous Law (Webcast)

The Learning Centre has been webcasting selected UBC lectures and seminars as an opportunity to enhance the value of the programs that are already happening on campus for an audience that oftentimes cannot personally attend. A webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, Living Traditions: Windingo’s and Indigenous Law is a presentation by Dr. John Borrows, who is Professor and Robina Chair in Law and Society at the University of Minnesota Law School and Professor and Law Foundation Chair of Aboriginal Law and Justice at the University of Victoria Law School. His talk focuses on the role of choice and agency in the interpretation and application of Indigenous law in a community context. Using ancient Ojibway stories and contemporary texts, Borrows explores the contemporary cultural expression of Anishinabek legal principles and their relevance for and relationship to other legal systems in North America.
