This collection contains reformated recordings from the Nature's Laws website, a project by Chief Wayne Roan and Earle Waugh archived in the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine with the assistance of the University of Alberta Library. Project description (from source website): "The Aboriginal concept of Nature’s Law differs from the western concept of natural law understood within the western legal tradition and the tradition of the French philosophes. In the West, natural law is usually associated, first, with the rhythms and patterns that scientists have seen in nature and, then, with local codes and legal understandings that were applied in regional European communities. Thus, natural law is held to grow out of the regular patterns of everyday life known and accepted by everyone in the community...In other words, Nature’s Law relates to the principle of integration within society, culture and cosmos. Thus, it can be seen that Nature's Law enlarges the meaning of the western concept of natural law within a larger framework. In essence, everything becomes part of an ecosystem and is not bounded by western views of what we see or feel. Aboriginal attitudes towards the law are practical and, unlike the western legal tradition, it is not based on a hierarchical system of principles or customary practice. Nature’s Law is, thus, very contextual and relates to tribal social organization."
