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)https://fundraise.raventrust.com/event/undrip-in-the-courts-whats-at-stake/e621223
