FIRST NATIONS HAVE AN INTELLECTUAL TRADITION that teaches people about ideas that are partial and incomplete. This tradition is transmitted through a character known as the trickster. In his adventures the trickster roams from place to place fulfilling his goals th rough contradic tory behaviours tha t are simultaneously altruistic and self-interested. The trickster displays transformative power as he takes on new personae in the manipulation of his objectives. He can be mean and kind, full of charm and cunning, and helpful and mischievous. Lessons are learned as the trickster engages in actions that in some particulars are representative of the listeners' behaviour and on other points are uncharacteristic of their comportment. The trickster encourages an awakening of understanding because his actions help to place our conduct in a different light. Through the use of contrast, listeners are compelled to reconcile the notion that their ideas are partial and incomplete. This comment draws on this intellectual tradition and sites the trickster character at the centre and edge of legal and political events in British Columbia. His interaction with the ideas and actual conversations surrounding Aboriginal rights in the province may highlight where confusion, misinformation, and self-contradiction appear in the various approaches to the issue of Aboriginal title and treaties. The trickster's travels, insights, and experiences illustrate that Aboriginal methodologies are alive and well, and are relevant in understanding the events around us.
