CBA National - Canadian Legal Affairs

At age 17 he met and married a Métis Cree girl named Miyo Nipiy, stepdaughter of an influential chief. They had six children together. In 1832, having clawed his way up the NWC corporate ladder, he moved to Montreal, disavowed his first marriage and married his second cousin in a Catholic church. After his death, his son by the first marriage sued for his inheritance — and won.

William Connolly’s chequered domestic history matters to us now for just one reason: it proves that in Canada, long after colonization was well advanced, Indigenous law and customs (marriage customs, for example) were alive enough to be seen by the courts as a valid body of common law. It’s an important point to remember as the reconciliation project moves forward. Still, the bylaw power isn’t useless. Aboriginal and Treaty Rights ~ Walking Together.

Presenting to First Nations Peoples

Why would I do this? I am routinely involved in conferences as a speaker, exhibitor, participant, and on occasion, as a conference organizer. I hear many speakers and a variety of presentation styles and can report that some speakers get it right, some make mistakes but manage to get along, and some don’t fair well at all.

Note: In this article, we use the term “tribes” as that is the terminology used in the United States. History lessons are increasingly being examined for narrative accuracy.
