Indigenous people are underserved in the Canadian constitution and justice system. NCH supports communities in asserting their self-determination rights by helping them navigate the complex and foreign court system. It also helps Indigenous communities and collectives make Indigenous legal orders, nationhood and its constitution pre-eminent.
It supports communities in restoring self-governance, in dismantling apartheid-like laws of the Indian Act and in stopping further land dispossession.
