It is with great pleasure that we announce the arrival of a new program Indigenous law Certificate, which is the first online French-language Indigenous law program in Canada. It will offer Indigenous learners an introduction to the legal systems of different Indigenous peoples in Canada, which they will be encouraged to compare with Quebec and Canadian state-derived systems in certain key areas of law.
As indicated in the schedule, the first introductory course will be held in the territory and will discuss Indigenous law and state law to introduce the sources. The second part on state law will be held at the University of Ottawa. The presence of elders will be highly valued, with speakers who convey Indigenous culture regularly invited, to encourage the oral transfer of legal knowledge. Exceptionally, this course is offered to special Indigenous students who are not enrolled in the program, but who want to learn about Indigenous legal orders.
On April 26, 2022, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., there will be an information session on the Certificate in Native Law. The program and available scholarships for 2022-2023 will be presented. Here is the link to register for the information session: https://uottawa-ca.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUqcO-rrTsrHNOHn2Z3OauINNqqE9_ZqBWX
