I am not Aboriginal. However, I am honoured to represent some of Canada’s First Nations in my Canadian Aboriginal and First Nations law practice. It’s an exciting time to be practicing Aboriginal and First Nations law in Canada. Aboriginal and Treaty Rights are now protected by the Constitution of Canada, and Nova Scotian and Canadian courts are taking Aboriginal and First Nations rights seriously. There is a long way to go but Aboriginal and First Nations law is developing daily in Nova Scotia and Canada.
I can help with:
Aboriginal and First Nations business development (green energy, wind energy, mining, forestry, hydro-electricity)
Aboriginal and First Nations economic development;
Aboriginal and First Nations taxation;
Aboriginal and First Nations self government;
