The BC treaty process was established in 1992 with the aim of resolving the outstanding land claims of First Nations in British Columbia.

The 'reparational turn' in the field of law has resulted in the increased use of so-called 'informal' approaches to conflict resolution, including primarily the three mechanisms considered in this book: mediation, restorative justice and reparations.
