Résumé
In this chapter, Tracey Lindberg, Priscilla Campeau, and Maria Campbell make visible the gaping chasm between the criminal law’s treatment of sexual assault committed against Indigenous women and girls and how those crimes are understood by Indigenous women and judged by Indigenous laws. Their discussion of four well-known prosecutions of men who preyed upon Indigenous girls and women challenges the law’s understanding of what is a “fact” and how we judge which “facts” are “relevant.” The authors refuse to look away from both the horror of these crimes and the way that they have in turn been minimized, discounted, and rationalized by actors in the Canadian legal system
