Who We Are

In 2009, RAVEN was founded with a goal to change the legal system from the inside out — the RAVEN staff and Board believes in a future where we see Indigenous rights upheld across the country. As an organization, we do our best to embody the teachings of the northwest coast trickster bird, raven, since we carry its name. Tricksters are usually characters who will take on jobs that no one else will, often facilitating change or transformation, much like our hope to transform the colonial legal landscape to include Indigenous laws and ways of being.
