4.0 out of 5 starsI very much liked Drawing Out Law: A Spirit's Guide
By S. Marsh on June 21, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
In the 1970s I began working on a project involving narratives and heroquests [1]. It was more or less finished in 2004 [2]. Since I started law school in 1979, well after the project began, Drawing Out Law was a welcome perspective, blending as it does the themes of narratives and heroquests in connection with First Nations law.

It was interesting to see the blending of perspectives and the organic nature of the way ideas were presented, often without any prescriptive conclusions. I've been following the ethics writings of [...]Dr. De Mars, which stem from a First Nations perspective [3]. Doing the same with law seems natural.

Dome of the perspectives are though provoking, ones I would never have considered. For example, in a discussion of abortion, he draws an analogy between reproductive rights and the (re) development of tribal entities as mature(ing) life in the body of another nation. Throughout discussing the rights and interests, autonomy and perspective, Borrows refuses to engage in prescription, merely providing multiple reframings with a bottom line that more reframing from a First Nations perspective would be valuable.

The pattern of acknowledging multiple approaches, perspectives and frames, suggesting more in the context of soft bordered stories, but not prescribing a result, prescribing a frame or insisting on any perspective, is what marks the book. It invites thought rather than provides conclusions.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBy the most prominent Aboriginal Law Scholar in Canada
By Dr. Jonathan Lang on February 3, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I met John Borrows at a Conference in Seattle, WA years ago. Been a fan of his writing since then. Reading the skillful story Borrows tells in "Drawing Out Law" draws the reader into life of the indigenous. I loved his portrayal of the importance of relating dreams of the characters in the story. Contemporary society needs the perspective and grounded ecological understanding of Canada's First Nations.

5.0 out of 5 starsAnishinabek teachings in a way you wouldn't expect
By M. R. Wilson on April 25, 2015
Format: Paperback
I am a clinical social worker and native person. This book walks in the two worlds of the dominant culture and the Anishinabek, by blending much of what those of the First Nations/Native perspective with that of Euro-American. In a very traditional manner, there are 4 areas being addressed by 4 illustrations for each - thus the 16 chapters. Perhaps of all the native written books, this one speaks so eloquently to the struggle of narrative/story and the cut and dried legalistic way of thinking.

Read this book with the curiosity of a child and your heart open. You may learn many things about yourself and others.
