We are proud to announce the inaugural winner of the Arbutus Law Group scholarship. Isaiah is Ojibway from the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation in beautiful Neyaashiinigmiing. He has a background in journalism with a focus on First Nation communities in Ontario. Leveraging both his academic training and lived experiences, Isaiah has dedicated himself to the pursuit of reconciliation. Since relocating to British Columbia in 2019, he has diligently worked towards advancing reconciliation efforts in whichever capacity he can. His background includes curriculum development, training advisory services, communications and most recently as a third-year student in the joint JD/JID law program at the University of Victoria. Isaiah’s commitment stems from a deep-seated desire to foster equity for Indigenous Peoples and to illuminate the diversity within Indigeneity.
Congratulations, Isaiah!
