Creating Indigenous Property is a collection of 10 essays exploring indigenous conceptions of property and juxtaposing these ideas against the common law. The work has a uniquely Canadian focus and will be most valuable to an audience interested in exploring and critiquing the emergence of property law in Canada. Perhaps uniquely, the text explores aspects of indigenous property that are often ignored or underdeveloped in existing scholarship, particularly the role of sharing, family/kinship relationships, and communal property, as examined in Richard Daly's chapter on aboriginal taxpayers and real property. Refreshingly, each chapter adds substantively to the discussion of the text's central theme. The book is nominally organized into four sections: "Indigenous Law in Practice," "Political Issues," "Common Law's Response," and "Lessons from the Transnational Context." The first three sections create an informative narrative that genuinely advances the editors' goal to question assumptions of property made by the common law and inform a dialogue on law reform. The final section addresses autochthonous conceptions of property from Africa. Though these essays are interesting and well written, they deviate a bit from the first eight contributions. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers through graduate students.
