Keewaytinok Native Legal Services began operations in 1981. To commemorate our 20th anniversary, we held a workshop on community justice at the Cree Village EcoLodge in Moose Factory. It was meant to be a two day conference but the weather did not cooperate. Winds gusting to 60 knots and more made it difficult to get across the river so the conference was confined to June 20th.
Material from some of the presentations is now available on this site.
We are grateful to the Cree Village EcoLodge and Air Creebec for their support.
