Rethinking Privacy: Indigenous Law and the Limits of Canadian Frameworks

In this episode, Payal is joined by Ben Barnes, one of the authors published in this year’s Appeal Law Journal, to talk through how privacy law intersects with Indigenous legal orders in British Columbia, breaking it down in an accessible way. They explore how Gitxsan and Salish traditions understand privacy through relationships and consent, and what meaningful reform and Indigenous data sovereignty could look like.--In Episode 4, Payal sits down with Ben Barnes to explore how privacy law intersects with Indigenous legal orders in British Columbia. Together, they break these ideas down in an accessible way, discussing how communities such as the Gitxsan Nation and Coast Salish peoples understand privacy through relationships, responsibility, and trust rather than paperwork and policies. Through stories, legal examples, and practical reforms, they examine questions of consent, jurisdiction, and Indigenous data sovereignty, and what meaningful change could look like for the future of privacy law. Be sure to look out for Ben’s paper in this year’s edition of the Appeal Law Journal.Calm Corporate - Medium1 by LiteSaturation -- https://freesound.org/s/767543/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0
