November 7th — #UNDRIP in the Courts: What's at Stake? [Webinar]

RAVEN will be hosting a one-hour webinar with representatives from #Kebaowek First Nation and the #Gitxaała Nation to discuss how they are using UNDRIP in #CanadianLaw. In both cases, the Crown argued in different ways that UNDRIP didn't apply to the circumstance.

What's at stake? The decisions in both cases will shape how UNDRIP applies in the Canadian #legal system for decades to come, but how and in what way is still unknown. Show solidarity and join us as we are in conversation with our panelists to learn more about what's at stake, and what the #FirstNations are hoping to achieve through their cases about UNDRIP.

WHEN:
Thursday, November 7th, 5:00-6:00pm (PT), 2:00-3:00pm (ET)

#Gitxaala is taking on the province, Canada, and several free miners, challenging that the Mineral Tenure Act is inconsistent with B.C.’s own Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (DRIPA) because it results in Indigenous peoples being dispossessed of their title and rights to land.
