Two of our lawyers, Peter W. Hutchins and Monique Caron, began their careers being part of the negotiations of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement which was approved in 1975. This agreement was the result of successfully advancing injunction proceedings in the Quebec Superior Court. Hutchins Legal Inc. continues to be involved in the negotiations of modifications to this agreement through Complementary Agreements.
Oral traditions have allowed for the history, knowledge and culture of Indigenous Peoples to be passed on from generation to generation, and to survive despite government laws, actions and policies aimed at assimilation and acculturation, including the residential school system.
The heritage of Indigenous Peoples includes not only oral history and traditional knowledge, but also objects, sites, and literary or artistic works transmitted from one generation to another.Our lawyers participate hand in hand with clients to have this heritage recognized and protected as intellectual property.
