"In Algonquian folklore, the wetiko is a cannibal monster or spirit that possesses
a person, rendering them monstrous. In The Wetiko Legal Principles, Hadley Friedland
explores how the concept of a wetiko can be used to address the unspeakable happenings
that endanger the lives of many Indigenous children. Friedland critically analyses
Cree and Anishinabek stories and oral histories alongside current academic and legal
literature to find solutions to the frightening rates of intimate violence and child
victimization in Indigenous communities. She applies common-law legal analysis to
these Indigenous stories and creates a framework for analysing stories in terms of
the legal principles that they contain. The author reveals similarities in thinking
and theorizing around the dynamics of wetikos and offenders in cases of child sexual
victimization. Friedland's respectful, strength-based, trauma-informed approach builds
on the work of John Borrows and is the first to argue for a legal category derived
from Indigenous legal traditions. The Wetiko Legal Principles provides much needed
direction for effectively applying Indigenous legal principles to contemporary social
issues"
