The University of Victoria is celebrating the construction of its National Centre for Indigenous Law.
The building is the first of its kind in Canada and has received funding from the provincial and federal governments, as well as the Law Foundation of B.C.
"Indigenous laws are lived and are living, but they have been suppressed and we have lost pieces of our laws," said Patricia Barkaskas, NCIL strategic advisor to the dean. Val Napoleon, acting dean of the faculty of law at UVic, says the work graduates do can have far-reaching benefits. While the NCIL is based in Victoria, the hope is that students will branch off and transform the judicial system beyond Vancouver Island.
