  • A Framework for the Law of Aboriginal and Treaty Rights: The Duty to Negotiate and Overlapping Traditional Territories

In addition to serving as Editor of this authoritative publication, Tom provided both the preface and the chapter on British Columbia’s enactment of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. In addition, Jeremy Barretto, Viviana Berkman, David Hansford, Emilie Lahaie, and Grace Wu all contributed to chapters in this publication.
