    in Canada. Since 1975, hundreds of Indigenous students have graduated from the law
    school. Many of these graduates are now leaders who have helped to redefine

    Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada; the late Judge Alfred Scow, the first
    Aboriginal lawyer and judge in British Columbia; and The Honourable Steven Point,
    former Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia and recently appointed Chancellor of
