The Supreme Court of Canada is expected to release its decision on Dickson v Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation in the coming weeks. Krista Robertson, counsel for the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, represented her client in all three levels of court. Indi and Krista discuss whether the Charter should apply to laws passed by self-governing Indigenous nations and why the analogous ground of Aboriginality-residence should not be applied to the facts of this case. This case also gives the SCC an opportunity to provide its first definitive direction on how section 25 of the Charter should be interpreted and applied.
