Description (French)
Le projet Améliorer les procédures judiciaires grâce aux enseignements traditionnels (Improving the Court Process through Traditional Teachings) est le premier volet d’un projet en deux volets. Le premier volet se concentrera sur la promotion et la publicité du projet afin de soutenir la participation de la communauté à l’élaboration du matériel de formation destiné aux partenaires du système judiciaire, notamment des dépliants, des affiches et des messages à la radio. Au cours de cette étape, un enregistrement vidéo des aînés locaux et des gardiens du savoir sera également réalisé afin de répertorier les enseignements traditionnels et les processus de justice en vue d’une formation future. Le deuxième volet sera mis en œuvre à une date ultérieure et consistera à distribuer le matériel aux conseillers parajudiciaires, aux clients, aux juges, à la Couronne et aux autres partenaires du système judiciaire.
Expected Results
Increased awareness of rights, obligations and resources by Indigenous people in contact with the justice system.
Expected Results (French)
Connaissance accrue de leurs droits, de leurs obligations et des ressources disponibles par les Autochtones ayant des démêlés avec le système de justice.
