#IJC2019 wrapped up today!
We had a terrific, hands-on conversation about how law students can take action on the knowledge we gained.
Thanks to @KarenDrake, Larissa Speak and Shaun Bell for facilitating!
Q&A with @AajuPeter after the #angryInuk at #IJC2019
We are hearing about her advocacy against false information in the anti-seal hunting campaign and how it’s harmed the #Inuit communities.
What a day! Thank you so much to our esteemed panelists, elders, drummers, faculty and students for coming to @LawLakehead & #ThunderBay for sharing with us at #IJC2019 on #IndigenousLaw
We'll see you all tonight at the @MagnusTheatre for The Angry Inuk at 6:30pm.
