Oral traditions are a distinct way of knowing and the means by which knowledge is reproduced, preserved and transferred from generation to generation. The conference from which these essays were selected created an opportunity for people to come together and exchange information and experiences over three days. The scholarship may be grouped into three broad areas: oral traditions and knowledge of the environment, economy, education and\/or health of communities; oral traditions and continuance of language and culture; and the effects of intellectual property rights, electronic media and public discourse on oral traditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
<p>This book examines the nature of aboriginal fishing rights before and after the Sparrow decision from a perspective of whether disadvantaged groups are able to use the law to advance their causes of social progress and equality. It includes interviews with the key players in the fishing industry: the Musqueam Indian Band, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the commercial industry. It concludes that aboriginal fishing rights remain subject to arbitrary control and examines why and how this has happened.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":57983,"template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[10712],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-62719","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","5":"product_language-eng","6":"product_subjects-political-science","7":"product_subjects-human-rights","8":"product_reading_range-12724","9":"product_reading_range-12725","10":"product_reading_range-12726","11":"product_reading_range-12727","12":"product_interest_range-12761","13":"product_interest_range-12745","14":"product_interest_range-12748","15":"product_interest_range-12760","16":"product_grade_range-twelfth-grade","17":"product_curriculumsubject-english-curriculum-subjects","18":"product_edi_priority_areas-cultural-identity","19":"product_edi_priority_areas-race-and-ethnicity","20":"product_edi_history_culture-indigenous-histories-cultures","21":"product_edi_subjects_themes-indigenous-knowledge-and-tradition","22":"product_edi_subjects_themes-cultural-identity-and-community","23":"product_edi_subjects_themes-indigenous-issues","24":"product_edi_subjects_themes-race-and-ethnicity","25":"product_NL_Authorized_Materials-nb-culturally-responsive-bibliography","26":"biblio_share_tag-political-science-human-rights","27":"product_cat-abc","28":"product_shipping_class-abc-test","29":"entry","31":"first","32":"instock","33":"taxable","34":"shipping-taxable","35":"purchasable","36":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
