Free Prior and Informed Consent
Criminalization of Indigenous people on our lands
The Indian Act
Canadian Legal System vs. Indigenous Legal Systems
Alberta Regulatory System

How much Canada spends fighting Indigenous people in the colonial court systems
The Alberta Tarsands Tailings Ponds and the threats to Water and how this infringes on Indigenous Rights
Where do we go from here
100 spots are available for this exclusive event, we welcome university students, lawyers, technicians, First Nation & Metis Settlement community members, and anyone interested in learning about these critical topics.
