Restorative Justice Seminar

A seminar on applying the principles of restorative Justice through First 
Nations Traditions and philosophy.

April 10, 2004 - 10 am to 4:30 pm

Aboriginal people have maintained their traditional value systems since time 
immemorial. In this seminar the FNATP presents basic philosophies on First 
Nations holistic wellness and its applications to restorative Justice 
principles. It will also explore methods within criminal justice 
processes, especially in relation to Aboriginal offenders. This seminar 
proposes alternative strategies which could be applied by those people 
involved in the criminal justice system. This seminar also encourages 
First Nations communities to further explore and improve their 
restorative justice initiatives.
