Alumna sighting: Signa Daum Shanks, who completed the first of her four degrees in our department and is currently pursuing a doctorate in law at the University of Toronto, is one of six winners of a new competition on law reform research aimed at graduate students. The competition is sponsored by the Law Commission of Canada and the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Signa's paper, which is to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, is titled "Who's the Best Indian?", and focusses on a claim by the Dene of northern Saskatchewan, whose caribou hunts historically carried into the Northwest Territories, until their right to hunt was superceded at the creation of Nunavut. Read more about Signa in the August-September issue of University Affairs.
