About Us

Letter From the President:

We formed R.A.V.E.N. out of the perceived need to redress the balance
when it comes to obtaining justice in the courts for Canada's native
people. All too frequently this is a David and Goliath situation.
Native leaders, advocates and their legal teams face virtually
impossible odds when going against the established interests of large
corporations and governments in order to protect their right and lands.

The background research and other costs attendant on the fight for
native rights are invariably immense. Yet, without adequate research
and background information, native causes are bound to fail in non-
native legal systems.

The R.A.V.E.N. board has observed that the struggles worldwide for the
rights of indigenous peoples are frequently closely related to the
effort to prevent environmental degradation through inappropriate
industrial development.

By obtaining financial support for these inter-mixed native rights and
environmental causes we hope to bring balance into the game.
