She applies common-law legal analysis to these Indigenous stories and creates a framework for analysing stories in terms of the legal principles that they contain. The author reveals similarities in thinking and theorizing around the dynamics of \u003ci\u003ewetikos\u003c\/i\u003e and offenders in cases of child sexual victimization. Friedland\u0026amp;#x2019;s respectful, strength-based, trauma-informed approach builds on the work of John Borrows and is the first to argue for a legal category derived from Indigenous legal traditions. \u003ci\u003eThe Wetiko Legal Principles \u003c\/i\u003eprovides much needed direction for effectively applying Indigenous legal principles to contemporary social issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eStory #1: Sweet Dirt\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction and Methodology\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: The \u003ci\u003eWetiko \u003c\/i\u003eas a Legal Concept or Category\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Understanding the Dynamics: The \u003ci\u003eWetiko \u003c\/i\u003eand Child Victimization\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The \u003ci\u003eWetiko \u003c\/i\u003eLegal Principles\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Future Directions in \u003ci\u003eWetiko \u003c\/i\u003eLaw\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStory #2: Beyond Sweet Dirt\u003c\/p\u003eBibliography\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595498713368,"sku":"9781487522025","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-wetiko-legal-principles-cree-and-anishinabek-responses-to-violence-and-victimization-paperback-softback-9781487522025","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
