The Spaces In Between delves into the potential for enhanced Indigenous political sovereignty within the Canadian state. Recognizing that Indigenous rights encompass the right to self-determination, the book argues that revitalizing practices of Indigenous sovereignty hold significant importance in fostering improved relations between Indigenous peoples and the Canadian government.
While the Canadian state maintains its dominant position in exercising state sovereignty, author Tim Schouls highlights how Indigenous nations are actively carving out and reclaiming areas of substantial political power for themselves. Through strategic legal concessions, arduous political negotiations, and sometimes mere declarations of intent, Indigenous nations have successfully compelled the Canadian state to relinquish its jurisdiction over them. As a result, they have improved their prospects for political sovereignty within Canada. These nations now occupy what Schouls metaphorically refers to as "the spaces in between."
The book asserts that the occupation of these jurisdictional "spaces in between" not only fulfills the requirements of Indigenous rights but also promotes Indigenous community autonomy and well-being, thereby enhancing prospects for reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and the Canadian state.
By examining these dynamics, The Spaces In Between offers valuable insights into the ongoing struggle for Indigenous political sovereignty and its potential to shape the future of Canada's relationship with its Indigenous communities.
