The term "colonialism" is used frequently these days to define and condemn the historical - and current - relationship between Canada and Indigenous Peoples. Our presenters explore why knowledge of history is critical to a better understanding of discriminatory practices and attitudes faced by Indigenous Peoples today, and to also acknowledge the impacts on their educational and employment opportunities, health care, environmental issues, and more. Learn the value of equity, diversity, and inclusion principles within a legal context and how you can help to address and prevent inequality to promote improved outcomes and better lives for Indigenous Peoples.
- Understand the challenges faced by Indigenous licensees
- Recognize how you can reduce barriers created by racism, unconscious bias, and discrimination in your own legal practice
- Hear about the Law Society Indigenous Framework
