One chapter deals with changes in custom and the problems it poses for
the functioning of aboriginal customary law.
A solution has been posed that First Nations need to develop
"equivalent institutions" that will help preserve the traditional
legal order that existed before contact.
I would like to know what experiences are out there that has dealt
with the problem of changes in custom by creating "equivalent
institutions".
Also, I don't know to what extent the tribal courts in the United States
were established in order to achieve a measure of equivalency with the
traditional legal order; so if possible I would like some feedback on this.
