Protecting Indigenous rights is fundamental to addressing today’s biggest challenges, from reconciling Indigenous and Crown sovereignty to ensuring that development respects Indigenous rights and ways of life. This is why I’m at PST. My work spans Indigenous-led conservation, child and family services, language revitalization, co-management of natural resources and efforts to address historic wrongs. I draw on my past work experience with provincial and federal governments to help clients navigate and shape laws, policies and systems – all with the aim of building capacity for lasting, transformative change.
