Abstract: Gender based violence is endemic across the globe. While we have seen significant shifts in discourse around consent, there still remain persistent gaps in practice and in law. Looking to Anishinaabe stories and community-responses to harm, this paper explores what an Anishinaabe legal response to sexual assault may look like. It is part of a larger project that asks how we repair harm and conflict? What are the processes we use to restore relationships? To have processes in place to address harm and conflict when it occurs.
