From where I stand : rebuilding Indigenous Nations for a stronger Canada / Jody Wilson-Raybould ; with a foreword by the Honourable Murray Sinclair.

Wilson-Raybould, Jody, 1971- (author.).

Summary:

"From Where I Stand is a timely, forthright, and optimistic book for all Canadians. Drawn from speeches made over a ten-year period both at home and abroad, Jody Wilson-Raybould reveals why true reconciliation will occur only when Canada moves beyond denial, recognizes Indigenous Rights, and replaces the Indian Act. We have the solutions. Now is the time to end the legacy of colonialism and replace it with a future built on foundations of trust, cooperation, and Indigenous self-government."-- Provided by publisher.

Jody Wilson-Raybould, also known by her Kwak’wala name Puglaas, is a lawyer, advocate, and a proud Indigenous Canadian. She was British Columbia Regional Chief from 2009 to 2015 and minister of justice and attorney general of Canada from 2015 to 2019. Throughout her career she has built a strong reputation as a bridge builder between communities and a champion of Indigenous rights, good governance, and accountability. Prior to entering politics, she was a provincial Crown prosecutor in Vancouver and later served as an adviser at the BC Treaty Commission, a body established to oversee complex treaty negotiations between First Nations and the Crown. In 2004, she was elected as commissioner by the Chiefs of the First Nations Summit. She is a descendant of the Musgamagw Tsawataineuk and Laich-Kwil-Tach peoples, which are part of the Kwakwaka'wakw or Kwak’wala-speaking peoples. She is a member of the We Wai Kai Nation. Her traditional name, Puglaas, means “woman born to noble people,” and she is a Hiligaxste,’ “one who corrects the Chief’s path.”
