Images of Justice: A Legal History of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut As Traced Through the Yellowknife Courthouse Collection of Inuit Sculpture - Eber, Dorothy Harley

Clean, tight, unmarked; two small pokes to back near inside edge; otherwise very minimal wear; spine straight and uncreased; A display case at the entrance to the Yellowknife courthouse holds a collection of 14 Inuit carvings that represent landmark cases in the legal history of the Northwest Territories. Eber tells the stories behind the carvings and provides fascinating insights into the unique situations that developed as the Inuit came in contact with Canada's justice system. At a time when alternative legal systems for Native peoples are being debated, Images of Justice provides a lively account of the northern courts, their evolution, and their future in a changing society.
