Aaron Mills (JD Toronto, LLM Yale, PhD Victoria) is an Assistant Professor at McGill University, Faculty of Law, where he holds the Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Indigenous Constitutionalism and Philosophy. In 2024, he was appointed as a Fellow of CIFAR’s Boundaries, Membership & Belonging research program. Mills’ primary field of inquiry is Indigenous law, which he uses to frame questions of legal theory, political theory, comparative law, and indigenous-settler reconciliation. As an Anishinaabe scholar (Couchiching First Nation), his approach to practise, theory, and method in Indigenous law is informed by more than 15 years of education with Anishinaabe elders from Treaty #3 and southern Manitoba.
