Human rights

The topic of Thunder Bay brings to mind a range of articles that I’ve recently come across dealing with human rights.

Such topics help to contextualize the outlines of land and lakes observed in the two photographs at this post. In my view, legal approaches are helpful in establishing contexts for evidence-based conversations regarding such topics.

A book that first gave rise to my interest in human rights in the context of First Nations land claims is: “A Long and Terrible Shadow: White Values, Native Rights in the Americas, 1492-1992 (1991) by Thomas R. Berger.

A July 13, 2014 CBC article, of interest regarding these topics, is entitled: “Government bracing for court battles over navigable waterways: Documents reveal bureaucrats warned of likely legal challenges.”
