The Indigenous Law Students Association (ILSA) and Indigenous Legal Studies (ILS) invite you to join us to hear from Stephen Mussell, our keynote speaker for Indigenous Awareness Week 2024 and recipient of the 2024 UBC Alumni Builder Award.
Stephen is Michif (Métis) and a citizen of the Manitoba Métis Federation. Among others, his mother Constance Mussell’s (née Waldo) family is descended from the Brown, Whitford, Price, Spence, and Cook families, and his father Michael Mussell’s family is descended from the Klyne, LaFrance, Cyr, and Nolin families.
Stephen is committed to using his western legal education and his belief in the inherent weight and force of Indigenous legal orders to bring about transformational change. His practice focuses on advancing the legal rights of Indigenous peoples and supporting Indigenous peoples in exercising their right to self-determination. Stephen is driven by a desire to continue the good work of those who came before him, and to leave a better world for future generations.
