Description

Against the Odds documents the remarkable achievements of Thomas R. Berger in the legal field, focusing on his advocacy for Indigenous rights in Canada and the US. Mid-career, Justice Thomas Berger accepted the challenge of leading the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry in Canada’s Northwest Territories. He organized the Inquiry to give northern First Nations an equal voice in the proceedings by holding thirty community hearings in which all were invited to participate. Berger’s careful, reasoned arguments prevailed time and time again. Later in his career, Justice Berger led public hearings into the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), focusing on its impacts on Native Alaskans. Against the Odds also features an exceptional gallery of full-colour, previously unpublished photographs of the Dene and Inuvialuit, taken by Michael Jackson KC, Special Counsel for the Berger Inquiry, and portrait photographer Linda MacCannell. Thomas Berger’s principal gift was to see the law not as a rigid, inflexible structure, but as a framework that could adapt to different circumstances through changing times. Against the Odds is Book 11 in the Durvile True Cases Series.
