Ontario’s resource riches in the northern Ring of Fire region (500 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay) was the background to the recent Kawaskimhon Aboriginal Moot. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the moot was hosted at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, where it all started back in 1994. Law students, academics, Aboriginal elders, and lawyers working, studying and/or interested in Aboriginal law issues participated in the three-day event.
