RAVEN works to support Indigenous Peoples in enforcing their rights and title in court to
protect their lands, sovereignty, and ways of being. When partnering with Indigenous
Nations, funds and awareness are raised for their legal actions. Every campaign taken on
is an opportunity to redefine justice through setting legal precedents, to return
stewardship to First Peoples by advancing Indigenous rights, and to take action for
shared futures by establishing lasting environmental legacies. Indigenous-led litigation is
sparking transformative change across Canada. By helping to amplify these voices and
support access to justice, that is creating a path towards a more just future for all,
RAVEN is building a movement for lasting systemic change!
