The University of Saskatchewan’s College of Law has received a $900K gift from McKercher LLP. USask Law will use $500K to develop an upper-year land-based learning course, which will include time on the land and instruction about how Indigenous laws are related to Indigenous relationship with the land. “Indigenous laws are often connected to the land, making land-based learning an invaluable context for understanding how Indigenous people practice law,” said USask Director of the Indigenous Law Centre Chris Lafleur. The rest of the funding will be used to establish a permanent financial award, support orientation activities, and support the McKercher Lecture Series.
