This essay pertains to the discovery of legal concepts and principles within Indigenous and French Canadian oral folk stories to develop greater dialogue across legal traditions. This is done in two parts. The first part focuses on the literary study of Indigenous and French Canadian folklore. It is argued that oral folk stories are legitimate and relevant object of law in literature study as they constitute dense and potent source of legal principles, concepts and notions. The second part directly engages with stories of Indigenous and French Canadian folklore. It looks to find legal principles, concepts and notions through supernatural characters featured in the stories, with an emphasis on ghosts, windigos and werewolves.Descargas
