Brief Bibliography
Darlene Johnston, B.A. (Queen’s) 1983, LL.B. (Toronto) 1986, joined the University of Toronto in 2002 as an Assistant Professor and Aboriginal Student Advisor. She was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law in 1989. In 1995 she resigned her academic position in order to coordinate land claims research and litigation for her community, the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation. Her advocacy contributed to the judicial recognition of her people’s treaty right to the commercial fishery and to the recovery and protection of burial grounds and other culturally-significant sites within their traditional territory. Her teaching areas include Aboriginal Law and Property Law. Her current research focuses on the relationship between totemic identity, territoriality and governance.
