Indigenous Achievement Week 2019

The Law Library put together a display for this year’s Indigenous Achievement Week’s theme of “Powerful Voices.” The display profiles four exceptional Indigenous Lawyers who made huge contributions to Saskatchewan throughout their careers.

The Display includes William Ivan Clarke Wuttunee who was the first Indigenous Lawyer to graduate from the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Law program and become the first Indigenous Lawyer in Western Canada. Our display includes excerpts from Robert McBain’s book, Their Home and Native Land for which he had exclusive interviews with Wuttunee.

The display will be up for the remainder of the week. Please feel free to come and have a look and read about the other three exceptional lawyers we have on display: Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, Eleanore Sunchild, and Donald Worme.
