Witness to the Human Rights Tribunals

Bruce Granville Miller is a professor of anthropology at the University of British Columbia. He has served as an expert witness in numerous human rights tribunal cases and his work with Indigenous communities in the context of presenting oral history has been particularly instrumental. Among his many publications are Oral History on Trial: Recognizing Aboriginal Narratives in the Courts and "Be of Good Mind": Essays on the Coast Salish.

"This book is a masterful analysis of the ongoing struggle over Indigenous litigation in Canada and the US, written by one of the leading experts on the subject."- Daniel L. Boxberger, Western Washington University (BC Studies) "[Miller's] approach is valuable. It allows critical details that would be ignored by lawyers and case reports to be recorded"- Harry Hobbs, University of Technology Sydney (JACANZS) engagingly practical instead of theoretical.- G. Christensen, Stetson University College of Law (CHOICE Connect)
