This afternoon at the BC Aboriginal Land Managers Association AGM, we had the honour of hearing West Coast Lawyers Joanna El-Mikati & Eugene Kung talk about their connections to #IndigenousLaw and the RELAW Program (Revitalizing Indigenous Law for Land, Air & Water). Follow us to hear their stories.
We recently hosted our first RELAW Co-learning Program retreat of the year. Participants engaged in #IndigenousLaw in Story at Manning Park Resort. Many conversations and laughs were had around the fire, sharing ways of knowing and being from our respective backgrounds and cultures. Read the recap!

BCFNJC's Andrea Hilland spoke on braiding Indigenous/Western legal systems, and Judith Sayers on Female Indigenous Leaders in Law this past weekend during the Indigenous Bar Association 37th Annual Conference. Thank you for having us!
