Daniels v. Canada brings together scholars and practitioners to examine the Supreme Court decision that affirmed Métis and non‑status Indians as "Indians" under section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867, and to trace its consequences for federal relations and legal recognition.

Essays in the volume explore how a single ruling extends beyond courtroom doctrine to shape public understanding of Indigeneity, influence policy debates, and affect legal and social practices. Contributors highlight the decision's ripple effects across administrative law, treaty discussions, and community governance.

Useful for legal scholars, Indigenous studies students, policymakers, and community leaders, the collection integrates jurisprudence with lived and institutional impacts.

Key themes

• Constitutional recognition and Métis identity
• Legal power beyond jurisprudence
• Policy implications and federal responsibilities
• Interdisciplinary perspectives from scholars and practitioners
