    Summary:

    A comprehensive look at how Canadian, particularly British Columbian, society "reveals itself" through its courtroom performances in Aboriginal title litigation. Focusing in particular on the Gitksan and Wet'suwet'en case, the book traces the trial of Delgamuukw. v. Regina from 1987 and 1991 to its successful appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, which issued a landmark ruling in 1997.
