Idaho Law Review — Call for Papers
NEW DIRECTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL LAW AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
This call for papers seeks submissions for the AALS Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples Section’s 2009 publication of selected papers. The Section will meet during the American Association of Law School’s Annual Conference on January 8th, 2009. The Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples Section Meeting will focus on “New Directions in International Law and Indigenous Peoples.” The University of Idaho Law Review will be publishing the papers on this topic accepted for publication.
The papers should address the themes of international law developments impacting the lives of Indigenous Peoples. With the passage on Sept. 13, 2007 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the international community has taken a major step in the direction of being responsive to the efforts of Indigenous peoples to bring awareness to global and local issues. Subject areas for papers may include: international human rights and Indigenous peoples; applying specific international documents to Indigenous issues; the increasing intersectionality of international and Indigenous law; the changing discourse over Indigenous peoples’ status in the international arena; influences of international law within Indigenous communities and jurisprudence; and related topics along these lines.

Call for Papers — Living Treaties Anishinaabe Summit
The presence of the US/Canada Border is a fact of life for Aboriginal People. It is also a simple fact of life that Indigenous people along the border have established their relationship with both US and Canadian governments through Treaty, and those Treaties affect people along the border in profound ways.
As “treaty rights” are continually challenged in the courts, the courts are given opportunities to continually “re-interpret” these treaties. Thus it is important to explore these treaties and related issues in some depth. To that end, The Anishinaabeg Joint Commission (Batchewana First Nation, Bay Mills Indian Community, Garden River First Nation, and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), in cooperation with the Center for the Study of Indigenous Border Issues, is issuing a Call For Papers for the Living Treaties Anishinaabeg Summit. The gathering will be held August 13 – 15, 2008, at the Sault Tribe Conference and Convention Center in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
The primary objective of this gathering is to bring together Tribal Elders, Traditional Knowledge Keepers, Tribal historians, college and university faculty and students, land claims researchers, Government officials (US, Canadian, Tribal), and Indigenous Community members so that we can all benefit from a thorough discussion and understanding of the role that Treaties play in the lives of Native Peoples along the US/Canada border.
