Abstract

Many aspects of global Indigenous wisdom teach us that true justice is a spiritual force that allows for the ebb and flow of balance to enter and sustain human reality. Within this form of justice is the organic movement of healing and restoration for the continuation of life. Indigenous perspectives on the concept and practice of restorative justice are often expressed as a process that acts to open a pathway for justice intended to restore balance and to engage the healing process for individuals, families, communities, and creation. The chapter presents the kinship system model as a non-linear structure within an indigenous paradigm to reference principles of restorative justice, therapeutic jurisprudence, and Indigenous wisdom through a non-colonial process of discernment, understanding, and ways of knowing.
