OJIGÌJOWEWIN LEGAL SYMPOSIUM: OCTOBER 21-23, 2025 AT CARLETON UNIVERSITY
Addressing False Claims of Indigeneity through Indigenous Legal Orders and Laws of the Land
Ojigíjowewin Indigenous Legal Symposium is 3-day symposium that provides space for discussions on Indigenous legal orders as they pertain to Indigenous identity fraud. Traditional protocols predate Canadian law and present a way to resolve Indigenous identity fraud. This symposium will provide Indigenous lawyers and community knowledge holders the opportunity to share their knowledge and bringing forward solutions based in Indigenous tradition that will help to develop a stronger and more respectful response to these claims.
Key questions that will be explored:
* What do our own Indigenous legal orders look like in practice?
* How can these legal frameworks be applied to current realities for identity fraud?
* What are the long-term implications for our communities?
Rooted in good relations, this symposium will create an intellectual and relational space for scholars, researchers, policymakers, lawyers, Elders, knowledge keepers and Indigenous community members to challenge, discuss and strategize. Together, we will develop paths forward that support strong, sovereign, culturally grounded and economically sustainable Indigenous nations.
This is a space to think boldly, collaboratively and with care; to inspire one another as we seek meaningful solutions.
