I'm a passionate advocate for defending and advancing Indigenous rights.
10 years ago I founded First Peoples Law, one of Canada's leading law firms working solely on behalf of First Nations. I'm grateful to my colleagues for recognizing me nationally and internationally as one of Canada’s leading lawyers in Aboriginal law. I represent First Nations across Canada and teach at the University of British Columbia’s Allard School of Law.

Picking rocks as a kid was one of my motivation
