REGAN’S ARTICLE
WHO IS SHE? WHAT IS HER ROLE?

POLITICAL RECOGNITION OF ABORIGINAL LAW
Using only non-Aboriginal law & processes for reconciliation is a problem (throughout the article; esp. 186-187)
• Listening (189)
• Reconciliation,

Yet another move of assimilation…

USING ABORIGINAL PROCESSES BADLY
Having decontextualized Aboriginal dances, rituals, ceremonies in reconciliation events is a problem (183-185)
