How do we respond not only to the tragedies of the past, but the ongoing barriers faced by Indigenous communities today when we look at the legal system and individual clients? As we reflect on the losses within the communities, we look for the opportunity for change to move forward towards a future that incorporates reconciliation into the justice system. Our speakers examine many issues about Indigenous law and policy, including the response to the Residential school tragedies and its aftermath, through a legal lens. They provide you with their insight and knowledge so that you can help your clients with legal assistance and advice they need in these challenging times.
