Resumen
Repensar las tradiciones legales indígenas es fundamental para la reconstrucción del concepto de ciudadanía. La teoría subrayada en este ensayo es que sí es posible desarrollar un flexible marco legal general que los pueblos indígenas deberían usar para expresar y describir sus órdenes legales y derechos, tal es así que pueden ser aplicados a los problemas actuales. Este marco debe ser capaz, primero, de plasmar los ordenamientos legales y los derechos siguiendo la forma descentralizada (esto es, no-estatal) de los pueblos indígenas; y segundo, permitir que las diversas formas de la cultura de cada sociedad sean reflejadas en sus ordenamientos jurídicos y derechos. Este marco permitirá, a su vez, que cada sociedad haga uso de un entendimiento profundo sobre cómo sus tradiciones legales deberían ser usadas para resolver conflictos contemporáneos, injusticias sociales complejas y la violación de derechos humanos.El Estado canadiense no se está debilitando y el pasado tampoco está descartado. Esto significa que los pueblos indígenas deben analizar cómo reconciliar sus antiguos ordenamientos legales y derechos descentralizados con el Estado y el sistema legal centralizados. Cualquiera fuera el proceso de reconciliación debe incluir una deliberación política sobre la ciudadanía indígena informada y comprometida. Tenemos que responder ala pregunta: «¿Quiénes somos nosotros más allá del colonialismo?».
Rethinking Indigenous legal traditions is fundamentally about rebuilding citizenship. The theory underlying this paper is that it is possible to develop a flexible, overall legal framework that Indigenous peoples might use to express and describe their legal orders and laws, so that they can be applied to present-day problems. This framework must be able to, first, reflect the legal orders and laws of decentralized (i.e., non-state) Indigenous peoples, and second, allow for the diverse way that each society’s culture is reflected in their legal orders and laws. In turn, this framework will allow each society to draw on a deeper understanding of how their own legal traditions might be used to resolve contemporary conflicts, complex social injustices, and human rights violations.The Canadian state is not going away and the past cannot be undone. This means that Indigenous peoples must figure out how to reconcile former decentralized legal orders and law with a centralized state and legal system. Any process of reconciliation must include political deliberation on the part of an informed and involved Indigenous citizenry. We have to answer the question, «Who are we beyond colonialism?»
