The BC First Nations Justice Council receives it mandate from the Chiefs of British Columbia and together we are working to not only reform the current justice system but also to restore traditional laws, structures, and healing, advancing self-determination over justice for Indigenous people.

This includes improving access to justice for Indigenous people, minimizing the damages of the imposed colonial justice system, and perhaps most importantly, supporting Nations to advance self-determination and the reawakening of Indigenous legal orders, traditions, and systems of justice.

Today, we have a staff of almost 100 people who are working hard to implement the Justice Strategy across BC. With the cooperation of First Nations communities, we will overcome the long and tragic history of the colonization of Indigenous peoples in Canada and advance Indigenous self-determination.
