On January 20, the radio show Kwé, Bonjour hosted Joëlle Perron-Thibodeau to talk about justice and comment on the recent Quebec Superior Court decision R. v. Montour. During this interview with Sophie-Claude Miller and Sylvestre Desterres, Joëlle Perron-Thibodeau shared about her career as a Kanien’kéhà:ka lawyer, and presented various aspects of the decision, including the place of traditional #Indigenous systems in analyzing relations with the Crown as well as the new test to prove an #aboriginal right.
To quote paragraph 458 of the decision: “In the culture of the Haudenosaunee, there is a golden thread that runs through generations. It weaves together their desire, their efforts and their determination through all those years to live in peace.”
