But in 1973 the Supreme Court of Canada issued a landmark decision in the \u003cem\u003eCalder\u003c\/em\u003e case, confirming that Aboriginal title constituted a right within Canadian law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLet Right Be Done\u003c\/em\u003e examines the doctrine of Aboriginal title thirty years later and puts the Calder case in its legal, historical, and political context, both nationally and internationally. With its innovative blend of scholarly analysis and input from many of those intimately involved in the case, this book should be essential reading for anyone interested in Aboriginal law, treaty negotiations, and the history of the BC Indian land question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Let Right Be Done is an invaluable collection of insightful essays on a crucial legal case that profoundly affected, and continues to influence, Canadian law. - J.R. (Jim) Miller, author, Reflections on Native-Newcomer Relations: Selected Essays. This important book reminds us of the courage and determination of the Nisga'a people. The late Frank Calder held an unwavering belief in justice and, with his accomplished counsel, Thomas Berger, Q.C., broke the trail for indigenous legal claims in Canada. Let Right Be Done is of acute interest to all who want to understand the contemporary recognition of Aboriginal title, specialist and general reader alike. - Honourable Judge Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, Representative for Children and Youth of British Columbia\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 The Calder Decision, Aboriginal Title, Treaties, and the Nisga’a \/ \u003cem\u003eChristina Godlewska and Jeremy Webber\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Reflections of the Calder Participants\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Frank Calder and Thomas Berger: A Conversation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Reminiscences of Aboriginal Rights at the Time of the Calder Case and Its Aftermath \/ \u003cem\u003eHonourable Gérard V.
