Re-Storying Justice
Welcome to Re-Storying Justice. A RAVEN podcast where we explore Indigenous laws of the land and how they intersect with the colonial legal system in Canada.
In many Indigenous cultures, laws have survived the passage of time, intricately woven into song, ceremonies, and stories. These legal systems have survived for thousands of years, often rooted in relationships with the land, water, seasons.
Here are RAVEN, we work in solidarity with Indigenous Nations who are upholding their rights and laws through the courts. We do this through fundraising and educational initiatives. Join us as we explore Indigenous legal traditions and their relationship with the colonial legal system in Canada.
In this series, we’ll dive into Indigenous legal traditions—rooted in land, language, and community—and examine how they intersect, conflict with, and sometimes align with Canadian law. Together, we’ll explore the possibilities of reconciliation through law, and the transformative power of recognizing Indigenous traditions as foundational to justice on this land.

In episode 2 of Re-storying Justice, RAVEN’s Communications Manager, Jamie-Leigh, sits down with artist Coulee Ross, for a grounded conservation on how art fuels collective and personal healing. Coulee shares the deep passion, history and culture that inspires her practice and shares how she envisions her work being used as a pathway for healing and wellness in Indigenous spaces. Rooted in her own identity and lived experiences, Coulee shares how she uses modern technology and contemporary practices — specifically tufting — to engage with traditional teachings.
Throughout history, art has been used as a way to express a shared identity and culture within Indigenous spaces. This episode will touch on these topics and we will explore how art continues to fuel healing, resistance, and resurgence.

In this episode, we chat with Leslie Anne St. Amour, RAVEN’s very own Campaigns Director, to discuss two groundbreaking legal challenges:
the youth-led case La Rose v. Canada, and
The current legal challenge brought forward by the two Wet’suwet’en House groups of the Likhts’amisyu Clan.
Both cases look at Canada’s inaction on climate change, arguing that it is a violation of our Section 7 rights. Youth, and in particular Indigenous youth have the most on the line when it comes to climate change and its impacts. Join us as we unpack these important legal challenges and how law, land, and resistance are shaping the path toward a more sustainable and just climate future.
