| contents | An Ethnographic and Humanistic View: Does the BC Human Rights Tribunal Hold Promise for Indigenous People? Bruce Granville Miller Antropología law Indigenous ethnography human rights In this paper I consider if the BC human rights tribunal holds promise for Indigenous peoples or is best understood as Trojan horses that absorb the energies of people who have experienced discrimination and as state-centered institutions which are unable to engage with Indigenous values and practices. The data are derived from an examination of all decisions given by the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal to sort out those brought by or against Indigenous people, interviews with tribunal members and human rights lawyers with tribunal experience, an examination of a seminal case, Radek, and published studies of Indigenous awareness of and attitude towards tribunals. I argue that the tribunal process fails Aboriginal peoples on several grounds and very few cases result in final decisions. But, significantly, the tribunal allows for transformational cases that substantively change the circumstances for Indigenous people of the province. 2021 artículo científico 1809-4341 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=406969792010 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792010/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792010/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792010/406969792010.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792010/movil 10.1590/1809-43412021v18a701 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4069 VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Antropologia VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology (Brasil) Vol.18 |
