customary law
Aboriginal law or lore is a complex mix of beliefs, traditions, customs, history and kinship systems that is unique to each first nations group
Traditional or customary law reflects common forms of acceptable and unacceptable behaviours within first nations communities; however, it is intertwined with cultural beliefs about origins, country and an individual place within the group.
