Seeking justice and redress for past harms

We help Indigenous peoples pursue justice for mistreatment by governments and public institutions. This includes filing class actions, assisting individuals in existing settlements, and ensuring that compensation is provided during the claims process. We are sensitive to the trauma that may resurface during these processes.

Discrimination under the Indian Act

We work with First Nations women and their descendants to obtain compensation following the systemic discrimination they were victim of under the Indian Act.

Abuse at Louvicourt Residence

We stand with survivors of Pavillon Notre-Dame de la Route, at Louvicourt, pursuing accountability and compensation for the physical, sexual, and psychological abuse they endured.

Provincial Indian Day Schools

We advocate for former Provincial Indian Day Schools students who suffered abuse, neglect and cultural harm inflicted in those schools in the province of Quebec.

Imposed Sterilizations

We represent Indigenous women seeking justice and compensation for the devastating impacts of forced and coerced sterilizations.

Federal Medical Boarding Homes

We seek justice for Indigenous persons who were placed in boarding homes while being away from home for medical treatment and convalescence and who were victims of various abuse while residing in those homes.

Federal Indian Boarding Homes

We assist those placed in private homes through the Federal Indian Boarding Homes Program, working to address the mistreatment and harm they experienced and to obtain a compensation through the Indian Boarding Homes Class Action settlement.
