Keywords: customary indigenous law; positive law; ontology; field of legal conflict

Summary/Abstract: Indigenous and positive law systems are often based on different ontological assumptions. This is one of the aspects that can give rise to collision in a field of legal conflict. The text presents examples of the ontological differences between legal systems and social and cultural phenomena related to them, while pointing out that, despite their great importance, they do not prove to be the major obstacle to enduring understanding between cultures and their law systems.
